In the context of Romans, Paul personifies sin as a powerful force that actively works against humanity. Historically, sin entered the world through Adam and has since been a pervasive influence, corrupting human nature and separating people from God. This phrase sets the stage for understanding sin not just as an act, but as a dominating power that seeks to control and destroy.seizing its opportunity The Greek term "aphormē" is used here, meaning a starting point or base of operations. Sin is depicted as an opportunistic force, waiting for the right moment to exert its influence. This reflects the cunning nature of sin, which uses the law as a platform to incite rebellion. The historical context of the Roman Empire, with its complex legal system, can help us understand how laws, though good, can be manipulated by sin to produce negative outcomes.through the commandment The "commandment" refers to the Mosaic Law, which was given to guide and protect God's people. The Greek word "entolē" signifies an authoritative prescription. While the law is holy and righteous, sin exploits it to provoke disobedience. This paradox highlights the tension between the law's divine purpose and sin's corrupting influence. Theologically, this underscores the need for grace, as the law alone cannot save but rather reveals humanity's need for a Savior.deceived me The Greek word "exapataō" means to thoroughly deceive or beguile. This echoes the deception of Eve in the Garden of Eden, where sin masquerades as something desirable. Historically, deception has been a tool of sin, leading individuals away from truth and into bondage. This phrase emphasizes the cunning nature of sin, which promises life but delivers death, illustrating the need for discernment and reliance on God's truth.and through it killed me The phrase "killed me" uses the Greek "apokteinō," meaning to put to death. This is not a physical death but a spiritual one, signifying separation from God. Theologically, this reflects the ultimate consequence of sin, which is spiritual death and eternal separation from God. The historical context of sacrificial systems in ancient Israel underscores the seriousness of sin and the need for atonement, pointing to Christ's ultimate sacrifice for redemption.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/romans/7.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(11-13) The cause of this miscarriage lay not with the Law but with Sin. Sin played the tempter, and then made use of the Commandment to condemn and destroy its victims. All this time the Law (i.e., the whole body of precepts) and the Commandment (i.e., the particular precepts included in the Law) remained perfectly good in themselves. They could not be otherwise, having come from the hand of God Himself. Sin was the fatal power. The Law and the Commandment were only passive instruments which it wielded for the destruction of man. But at the same time Sin itself was exposed by them in all its ever-increasing enormity. <a href="/commentaries/romans/7-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>For γὰρ (gar) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_1063.htm">Strong's 1063: </a> For.
