10. and I died spiritually. The command was meant to bring life, but for me it brought death.
11. Sin found a way to fool me by using the command to make me die.
12. Now the law is holy, and the command is holy and right and good.
13. Does this mean that something that is good brought death to me? No, it was sin that used the good command to bring me death. This shows how terrible sin really is. It can use a good command to produce a result that shows sin at its very worst.
14. We know that the law is spiritual, but I am not. I am so human. Sin rules me as if I were its slave.
