What the Bible says about Sin, Law Reveals
(From Forerunner Commentary)
The problem lies in the transgression of the law—sin—rather than the law itself. "Sin, that it might appear sin" refers to the function of the law: It reveals what sin is. "What is good" is the law or the commandment itself (see verse 12).
