Romans 7:8-10

8 But sin took the opportunity provided by this commandment and made me have all kinds of wrong desires. Clearly, without laws sin is dead.
9 At one time I was alive without any laws. But when this commandment came, sin became alive
10 and I died. I found that the commandment which was intended to bring me life actually brought me death.
