20 Therefore, no one will be declared righteous before him by works of law,+ for by law comes the accurate knowledge of sin.+

12 So the Law in itself is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.+

13 Therefore, did what is good result in my death? Certainly not! But sin did, that it might be shown to be sin working out death in me through what is good,+ so that through the commandment sin might become far more sinful.+
