For sin took the opportunity through the commandment and deceived me. Through the commandment it killed me

As in Romans 7:7-8, Paul is describing sin as a person who can do 3 things: take the opportunity, deceive, and kill. Alternate translation: "Because I wanted to sin, I deceived myself into thinking that I could sin and obey the commandment at the same time, but God punished me for disobeying the commandment by separating me from him" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
