Romans 7:10. Which was unto life. The promise of the law, covering its every ‘commandment,' was ‘do this and ‘live;' its aim was ‘life.'

Was found by me to be unto death. The aim was ‘life;' as a matter of personal human experience the result was ‘death.' he present misery resulting from the excitement and knowledge of sin seems to be referred to, for this only could be ‘found' to be the result, as a matter of experience.
