The power of sin is the law( of righteousness(1cor:15:56)
Paul the Christian looking back at his life as a pharisee after the law came to him:
What shall we say then, is the law sin? Nay, I had not known sin but by the law, for I had not known lust except the law had said: Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion by the Commandment wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
For I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived( or sin consciousness sprang to life) and I died/ felt condemned.
And the commandment which was ordained to life( if I obeyed it) I found to be unto death( for I could not keep it)
For sin, taking occasion by the Commandment deceived me, and by it slew me.
Wherefore the law is Holy, and the commandment Holy, just and good.
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good, that sin through the commandment might become exceeding sinful
Rom7:7-13
The Apostle paul preached a message the humble and sincere are desperate for, those crushed by impossible loads. But those who think they can be good enough for God, will pass that message by and refuse to accept it, even being offended by it
