Dying to the Law We finished Romans chapter 6 with this great quote 23 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Paul is going on in verse 9 to work out for us the implications and particulars of how the principles given in verse 7 and 8 work out for us, in a remarkably personal manner, his own personal testimony.

Paul has been reasoning out why he not only would not have come to know sin except through the Law, but now he also turns to explain how it arouses sinful passions within us, going yet deeper to reveals just how very awful and dominating sin itself is.
