Romans 7:8 in Context — Romans 7
6 Mais maintenant, nous avons été dégagés de la loi, étant morts à cette loi sous laquelle nous étions retenus, de sorte que nous servons dans un esprit nouveau, et non selon la lettre qui a vieilli.
7 Que dirons-nous donc? La loi est-elle péché? Loin de là! Mais je n’ai connu le péché que par la loi. Car je n’aurais pas connu la convoitise, si la loi n’eût dit: Tu ne convoiteras point.
8 Et le péché, saisissant l’occasion, produisit en moi par le commandement toutes sortes de convoitises; car sans loi le péché est mort.
9 Pour moi, étant autrefois sans loi, je vivais; mais quand le commandement vint, le péché reprit vie, et moi je mourus.
10 Ainsi, le commandement qui conduit à la vie se trouva pour moi conduire à la mort.
