Sin and the Law in Romans 7:7-13
Why the Law?
Romans 7:7-13
Romans 7:7-13
7
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the
contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law.
For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had
said, "You shall not covet."
8
But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced
in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was
dead.
9
I was alive once without the law, but when the
commandment came, sin revived and I died.
10
And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to
bring death.
11
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived
me, and by it killed me.
12
Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and
just and good.
13
Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly not!
But sin, that it might appear sin, was producing death in me
through what is good, so that sin through the commandment
might become exceedingly sinful.
Romans 7:7-13

My Savior’s Love
Page 348
I stand amazed in the presence
of Jesus, the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
a sinner, condemned, unclean.
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone.
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
