Romans 7:8 in Context — Romans 7

6 Mas agora estamos livres da Lei, estando mortos para aquilo em que estávamos presos, para que sirvamos em novidade de espírito, e não na velhice da norma escrita.

7 Que diremos, pois? É a Lei pecado? De maneira nenhuma! Todavia, eu não teria conhecido o pecado, se não fosse pela Lei; porque não conheceria a cobiça, se a Lei não dissesse: Não cobiçarás.

8 Mas o pecado, aproveitando-se do mandamento, operou em mim toda variedade de cobiça. Pois sem a Lei o pecado [estaria] morto.

9 Antes eu vivia sem a Lei; mas quando veio o mandamento, o pecado reviveu, e eu morri;

10 e descobri que o mandamento, que era para a vida, resultou-me para a morte.
