Romans 7:9-12 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;

10. and the commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death:

11. for sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.

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