Romans 7:12

Wherefore the law [is] holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Wherefore {G5620}{G3303} the law {G3551} is holy {G40}, and {G2532} the commandment {G1785} holy {G40}, and {G2532} just {G1342}, and {G2532} good {G18}.

So the Torah is holy; that is, the commandment is holy, just and good.

So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.
