Thematic Bible: By its strictness stirs up
Thematic Bible
Sin » The law » By its strictness stirs up
for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.
But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.
