Commentaries:
The problem lies in the transgression of the law—sin—rather than the law itself. "Sin, that it might appear sin" refers to the function of the law: It reveals what sin is. "What is good" is the law or the commandment itself (see verse 12).

The Covenants, Grace and Law (Part 27)
Notice that it was not the law that killed him but sin! Plain, simple truth—sin slew him. By contrast, Paul says that the law was ordained to life. It is holy, just, good, and spiritual. That is very clear.
