Romanos 7:11 Meaning and Commentary

Romans 7:11

For sin taking occasion by the commandment
As in ( Romans 7:8 ) ,

deceived me;
either by promising pleasure or impunity: the same effect is ascribed by the Jews to the evil imagination or corruption of nature, which they say is called an enticer, (Mda htpmv) , "that deceives man" F7:

and by it slew me;
mortally wounded me: not the law, but sin by the law, deceived and slew him; so that as before, the law is cleared from being the cause of sin, so here, from being the cause of death; for though the law is a killing letter, the ministration of condemnation and death, yet it is not the cause of it; but sin, which is a transgression of the law, is that which deceives or leads out of the way, as the word signifies, and then kills. The metaphor is taken from a thief or a robber, who leads a man out of the way into some bypath, and then murders him.

Romanos 7:11 In-Context

9 Y en un tiempo yo vivía sin la ley, pero al venir el mandamiento, el pecado revivió, y yo morí;
10 y este mandamiento, que era para vida, a mí me resultó para muerte;
11 porque el pecado, aprovechándose del mandamiento, me engañó, y por medio de él me mató.
12 Así que la ley es santa, y el mandamiento es santo, justo y bueno.
13 ¿Entonces lo que es bueno vino a ser causa de muerte para mí? ¡De ningún modo! Al contrario, fue el pecado, a fin de mostrarse que es pecado al producir mi muerte por medio de lo que es bueno, para que por medio del mandamiento el pecado llegue a ser en extremo pecaminoso.
