Is the lawe synne? God forbyd: Neuertheles I knewe not synne, but by ye lawe. For I had knowne nothinge of lust, yf the lawe had not sayde: Thou shalt not lust. 8 But then toke synne occasion at the commaundement, and stered vp in me all maner of lust. For without the lawe synne was deed. 9 As for me, I lyued some tyme without lawe. Howbeit whan the commaundement came, synne reuyued, but I was deed. 10 And the very same commaundement that was geuen me vnto life, was founde to be vnto me on occasion of death. 11 For synne toke occasion at the comaundement, and disceaued me, and slewe me by the same commaundement. 12 The lawe in dede is holy, and the commaundement holy, iust and good. 13 Is that then which is good, become death vnto me? God forbyd. But synne, that it mighte appeare how yt it is synne, hath wroughte me death thorow good: that synne mighte be out of measure synfull by the commaundement.
