Did 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.

10
The commandment which was for life, this I found to be for death;
11
for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, righteous, and good.

Selected verse
Did 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.
14
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am fleshly, sold under sin.
15
For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I don’t practice what I desire to do; but what I hate, that I do.
16
But if what I don’t desire, that I do, I consent to the law that it is good.
