For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

Question 7

Answer 12

Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Question 13

Rom 7:16

Answer 16

If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
