Romans 7:11 Context
9For I was aliue without the Law once, but when the commandement came, sinne reuiued, and I died. 10And the commandement which was ordained to life, I found to be vnto death. 11For sinne taking occasion by the commandement, deceiued me, and by it slew me. 12Wherefore the Law is holy, and the Commandement holy, and iust, and good. 13Was that then which is good, made death vnto me? God forbid. But sinne, that it might appeare sinne, working death in mee by that which is good: that sinne by the Commaundement might become exceeding sinfull.

People's Bible Notes for Romans 7:11
Ro 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me. Sin is always a deceiver, however. I cannot explain this save by referring it to a period of life when he was self-deceived, and sinned, thinking he was doing God service. It exactly describes the persecuting Saul of Tarsus. Sin deceived him. When he found he was deceived, it slew him. He was convicted before God.
