Romans 7:8

8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all [kinds of] covetousness. For apart from the law, sin [is] dead.

Romans 7:8 In-Context

6 But now we have been released from the law, [because we] have died [to that] by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter [of the law].
7 What then shall we say? [Is] the law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the law, for I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, "Do not covet."
8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all [kinds of] covetousness. For apart from the law, sin [is] dead.
9 And I was alive once, apart from the law, but [when] the commandment came, sin sprang to life
10 and I died, and this commandment which [was] to [lead to] life was found with respect to me to [lead to] death.
