For when we were living according to our old nature, the passions connected with sins worked through the Torah in our various parts, with the result that we bore fruit for death.

Therefore, what are we to say? That the Torah is sinful? Heaven forbid! Rather, the function of the Torah was that without it, I would not have known what sin is. For example, I would not have become conscious of what greed is if the Torah had not said, “Thou shalt not covet.”

But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of evil desires — for apart from Torah, sin is dead.

For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me; and through the commandment, sin killed me.

who steal, who are greedy, who get drunk, who assail people with contemptuous language, who rob — none of them will share in the Kingdom of God.

The sting of death is sin; and sin draws its power from the Torah;

God made this sinless man be a sin offering on our behalf, so that in union with him we might fully share in God’s righteousness.”

And it is perfectly evident what the old nature does. It expresses itself in sexual immorality, impurity and indecency;

involvement with the occult and with drugs; in feuding, fighting, becoming jealous and getting angry; in selfish ambition, factionalism, intrigue
