Knowledge Of Sin Comes Through The Law

11 For sin, having had occasion, deceived me by the commandment and by it killed me. 12 So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. 13 Was then that which is good made death unto me? No, in no wise. But sin, to show itself sin by that which is good, worked death in me, making sin exceedingly sinful by the commandment.
