Paul is introducing a new topic. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])

# I would never have known sin, if it were not through the law ... But sin took the opportunity ... brought about every lust

Paul is comparing sin to a person who can act. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
|
|
|
|
# sin
|
|
|
|
"my desire to sin"
|
|
|
|
# lust
|
|
|
|
This word includes both the desire to have what belongs to other people and wrong sexual desire.

|
# without the law, sin is dead
|
|
|
|
"if there were no law, there would be no breaking of the law, so there would be no sin"
