Romans 7:13 Context
11For sinne taking occasion by the commandement, deceiued me, and by it slew me. 12Wherefore the Law is holy, and the Commandement holy, and iust, and good. 13Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid. But sinne, that it might appeare sinne, working death in mee by that which is good: that sinne by the Commaundement might become exceeding sinfull. 14For wee know that the Law is spirituall: but I am carnall, sold vnder sinne. 15For that which I do, I allow not: for what I would, that do I not, but what I hate, that doe I.

Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
- King James Version
Therefore did that which is good become {a cause of} death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.
- New American Standard Version (1995)
