romans 7:8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. - Free Bible Online

romans 7:8 But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin [is] dead.


      8. For without the law--that is, before its extensive demands and prohibitions come to operate upon our corrupt nature.
      sin was--rather, "is"
      dead--that is, the sinful principle of our nature lies so dormant, so torpid, that its virulence and power are unknown, and to our feeling it is as good as "dead."

JFB.
