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 (short): Are you prepared for the truth? |
Question (full): Are you prepared to accept God's teaching even when it appears to conflict with your own ideas of right and wrong? I know from experience that it can be a very hard thing to do. At times it require lots of prayer and grace before we are made willing to surrender to the decrees of our Lord and Ruler. May the Lord grant you all grace as you seek to know Him better. John |
