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] |
Subject: THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW |
Bible Note: THE PURPOSE OF THE LAW Paul once again gives us the purpose of the Law in this verse. The Law is given that we may know our sin. We should use the Law in sharing the Good News to show the sinful state of man and then show man's need for a Savior from God's Judgment. |
