Romans 7:12

12 So the law is holy, and the command is holy and right and good.

Romans 7:12 In-Context

10 and I died. The command was meant to bring life, but for me it brought death.
11 Sin found a way to fool me by using the command to make me die.
12 So the law is holy, and the command is holy and right and good.
13 Does this mean that something that is good brought death to me? No! Sin used something that is good to bring death to me. This happened so that I could see what sin is really like; the command was used to show that sin is very evil.
14 We know that the law is spiritual, but I am not spiritual since sin rules me as if I were its slave.
