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.
