Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 7:8
But sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin is dead.This verse identifies sin in the human heart as the primary cause of violating God's law; but, in the sense of multiplying violations, the law itself is an ally of sin. Thus it is true that "through the commandment," as a secondary cause, all manner of violations are multiplied. Human nature being what it is, the very existence of law, given a rebellious heart in people,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 7:9
And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.Alive apart from the law ... has reference to a state of innocence, or unconscious morality, as yet without instruction, and uncondemned, which condition may be assumed as a description of Paul's childhood innocence; but, after being instructed in the law, that is, "when the commandment came," sin revived in him, and he fell into the deadness of transgression and sin. Significantly, the last two... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 7:10
And the commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death.The commandment ... is another synonym for Moses' law; and by such an expression as this, that the law is "unto life," he wished to soften the impact of what he had said about the law bringing death and causing sin to abound. Paul had the utmost respect for the old law. Who but himself could have said that he "had lived in all good conscience" with reference to it? Paul here recognized the holy purpose of that law God gave... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 7:11
For sin, finding occasion, through the commandment beguiled me, and through it slew me.The reaction of sinful people to God's commandments is not due to the evil of the commandment but to the evil of human hearts. The sinful mind lyingly represents God's commandments as being opposed to human freedom, to human interests, and as being barriers to legitimate human desires and needs. The command of God, as in Eden itself, is made to appear as a frustration of something that man might rightfully... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Romans 7:12
So that the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous and good.The law of Moses was holy because it came from God, righteous because of the justice of its precepts, and good because of the benefit intended for mankind through the Father's giving of it. This high estimate of Moses' law will be further justified in the subsequent verses of this chapter, in which, not the law itself, but the sinful bent of human nature, will be shown as bearing the blame for the sin and death that... read more
