9. For I was alive without the law once —"In the days of my ignorance, when, in this sense, a stranger to the law, I deemed myself a righteous man, and, as such, entitled to life at the hand of God." but when the commandment came —forbidding all irregular desire; for the apostle sees in this the spirit of the whole law. sin revived —"came to life"; in its malignity and strength it unexpectedly revealed itself, as if sprung from the dead. and I died —"saw myself, in the eye of a law never kept and not to be kept, a dead man." return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-10" class="com-number"
