Romans 7:7
“What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin, except through the law; for I wouldn’t have known coveting, unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.””
The Apostle Paul writes to a mixed audience of Jewish and Gentile believers in Rome, likely in the mid-1st century CE. In this part of his letter, he is wrestling with the purpose of God's Law (Torah) and its relationship to sin, especially for those who now follow Christ.
How does understanding the law's role as a revealer of sin rather than its cause challenge or affirm your own understanding of right and wrong?
