Romans 7:13

Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

World English Bible (WEB)

Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

Strong's King James

But{G235} sin{G266}, that{G2443} it might appear{G5316}{(G5652)} sin{G266}, working{G2716}{(G5740)} death{G2288} in me{G3427} by{G1223} that which is good{G18}; that{G2443} sin{G266} by{G1223} the commandment{G1785} might become{G1096}{(G5638)} exceeding{G2596}{G5236} sinful{G268}.
