로마서 7:10-13 KRV

The Pulpit Commentary - Romans 7:12-13

So that the Law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Has then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, through that which is good working death unto me; that sin might become exceeding sinful through the commandment . The question of Romans 7:7 , "Is the Law sin?" has now been answered so far as this—that, far from being so, the commandment was in itself "unto life" (cf. Le 18:5; Romans 10:5 ), only that sin took occasion... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 7:10

And the commandment - The Law to which he had referred before.Which was ordained to life - Which was intended to produce life, or happiness. Life here stands opposed to death, and means felicity, peace, eternal bliss; Note, John 3:36. When the apostle says that it was ordained to life, he probably has reference to the numerous passages in the Old Testament which speak of the Law in this manner, Leviticus 18:5, “Ye shall keep my statutes and my judgments; which if a man do, he shall live in... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 7:11

For sin - This verse is a repetition, with a little variation of the sentiment in Romans 7:8.Deceived me - The word used here properly means to lead or seduce from the right way; and then to deceive, solicit to sin, cause to err from the way of virtue, Romans 16:18; 1 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Corinthians 11:3, “The serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty,” 2 Thessalonians 2:3. The meaning here seems to be, that his corrupt and rebellious propensities, excited by the Law, led him astray; caused him... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 7:12

Wherefore - So that. The conclusion to which we come is, that the Law is not to be blamed, though these are its effects under existing circumstances. The source of all this is not the Law, but the corrupt nature of man. The Law is good; and yet the position of the apostle is true, that it is not adapted to purify the heart of fallen man. Its tendency is to excite increased guilt, conflict, alarm, and despair. This verse contains an answer to the question in Romans 7:7, “Is the law sin?”Is holy... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Romans 7:13

Was then that which is good ... - This is another objection which the apostle proceeds to answer. The objection is this, “Can it be possible that what is admitted to be good and pure, should be changed into evil? Can what tends to life, be made death to a man?” In answer to this, the apostle repeats that the fault was not in the Law, but was in himself, and in his sinful propensities.Made death - Romans 7:8, Romans 7:10.God forbid - Note, Romans 3:4.But sin - This is a personification of sin as... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 7:9-11

Romans 7:9-11. For I was alive In my own conceit; without the law Without the proper knowledge of its spirituality, extent, and obligation. I apprehended myself to be righteous, and in the way to life eternal; but when the commandment came That is, the law; (a part being put for the whole;) but this expression particularly intimates its compulsive force, which restrains, enjoins, urges, forbids, threatens; when, in its spiritual meaning, it came to my heart: or, when the spiritual... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Romans 7:12-13

Romans 7:12-13. Wherefore Since then, by what has been said, it appears that the law is not the cause of sin or death, except indirectly and by accident, it must be acquitted from this charge, and acknowledged to be holy; and the commandment The preceptive part of the moral law, and every particular precept of it; is holy, just, and good It springs from and partakes of the holy nature of God; tends only to promote holiness and a conformity to God, and prescribes our duty to God in his... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Romans 7:1-25

The law cannot help (7:1-25)Through Christ, believers have not only died to sin, they have died to the law also, which means that their lives are now different. Paul gives an example. If a husband dies, the wife is no longer bound to him and is free to marry again. Likewise believers have died to the law so that the bond between them and the law is broken. However, they have been raised to new life and are now united to another, the living Christ (7:1-4). Formerly, they found that the more the... read more
