Romans 7:11 in context

  1. 9I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
  2. 10The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
  3. 11for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.
  4. 12Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
  5. 13Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, was producing death in me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceedingly sinful.
