Knowledge Of Sin Comes Through The Law

11 For sin, finding occasion, through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me. 12 So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good. 13 Did that which is good become death to me? God forbid! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good. This way sin might be shown to be sin. Through the commandment sin could be recognized.
