NASB | Romans 7:7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET." |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 7:7 ¶ What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, if it had not been for the Law, I would not have recognized sin. For I would not have known [for example] about coveting [what belongs to another, and would have had no sense of guilt] if the Law had not [repeatedly] said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET." [Ex 20:17; Deut 5:21] |
Bible Question:
what is the Law that is in the book of Romans esp. in chapter 7. I want to understand what I read there are times it takes me 3 and more times to read to get a understanding out of just one scripture. I have a amplified Bible. |
Bible Answer: Paul is speaking of the 10 commandments as in verse 7 he quotes the 10th commandment...but he also speaks of the law of being married... for a woman is not to marry another as long as her husband lives...but the understanding of what the law does is this...that if we did not know that we broke the law, we would have no need for a Savior to deliver us from our sins...thus the law shows us that we are sinners, in need of forgiveness, which comes through Jesus Christ alone... for I did not know that I was a sinner until God showed me that "thou shalt not" and it was something I had done...well if I had done what God said "thou shalt not" then I find that the law is good because it shows us a need for forgiveness...well because I want to die to the person who had done those things against God by breaking His law...how do I do this..I am seperated through Jesus by death to the old me,which alows me as a dead person who is still breathing, to be remarried...thus becoming a new person through Jesus Christ and giving my life that I now live to Jesus Christ...the old me is dead and the new me is alive and free from the law tha I had broken... maybe this helps you elayne...God Bless |
