In context

5For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.

7What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
