But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

But{G1161} sin{G266}, taking{G2983}{(G5631)} occasion{G874} by{G1223} the commandment{G1785}, wrought{G2716}{(G5662)} in{G1722} me{G1698} all manner of{G3956} concupiscence{G1939}. For{G1063} without{G5565} the law{G3551} sin{G266} was dead{G3498}.
Strong's King James
(8) But deviation took its opportunity through the commandment, producing in me every lust because without Torah-Law, deviation is dead. 
The F.O.G*
[8] But sin seized this opportunity through the commandment to stir up every kind of selfish desire within me. For apart from law's clear boundaries, sin lies dormant and unrecognized.
The F.O.G Paraphrase
‘Thou shalt not covet;’ and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness—for apart from law sin is dead.
Young's Literal Translation
