The Apostle Paul concludes his defense of God's law in Romans 7:12-13 by establishing two fundamental truths that every believer must understand. First, the law itself possesses godly attributes of holiness, justice, and goodness that reflect God's own character. Second, sin's exceeding wickedness is demonstrated precisely through its perverse manipulation of this holy law to bring spiritual death. These verses serve as Paul's definitive answer to those who would blame the law for man's spiritual condition, while simultaneously revealing the depth of sin's deception and corruption. Understanding this passage requires careful attention to the context and believers relationship to the Law, neither as a means of salvation nor sanctification, but as a revealer of sin and a guide to righteousness.
