Romans 7:6 in context

  1. 4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye should be joined to another, even to him who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit unto God.
  2. 5For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were through the law, wrought in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
  3. 6But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
  4. 7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:
  5. 8but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin is dead.
