Romans 7:7
What then shall we say? Is the law sin? By no means! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law; that is, I (ēdein | ᾔδειν | pluperf act ind 1 sg) would (ēdein | ᾔδειν | pluperf act ind 1 sg) not have (ēdein | ᾔδειν | pluperf act ind 1 sg) known (ēdein | ᾔδειν | pluperf act ind 1 sg) what it means to covet had not the law said, “You shall not covet.”
