Clarke: Rom 7:11 - Sin, taking occasion

Sin, taking occasion - Sin, deriving strength from the law, threatening death to the transgressor, (see Clarke’ s note on Rom 7:8), deceived me, drew me aside to disobedience, promising me gratification honor, independence, etc., as it promised to Eve; for to her history the apostle evidently alludes, and uses the very same expression, deceived me, εξηπατησε με· See the preceding note; and see the Septuagint, Genesis 3:13

Clarke: Rom 7:11 - And by it slew me

And by it slew me - Subjected me to that death which the law denounced against transgressors; and rendered me miserable during the course of life itself. It is well known to scholars that the verb αποκτεινειν signifies not only to slay or kill, but also to make wretched. Every sinner is not only exposed to death because he has sinned, and must, sooner or later, die; but he is miserable in both body and mind by the influence and the effects of sin. He lives a dying life, or a living death.

Calvin: Rom 7:11 - NO PHRASE

11.=== Led me out of the way, === etc. It is indeed true, that while the will of God is hid from us, and no truth shines on us, the life of men goes wholly astray and is full of errors; nay, we do nothing but wander from the right course, until the law shows to us the way of living rightly: but as we begin then only to perceive our erroneous course, when the Lord loudly reproves us, Paul says rightly, that we are led out of the way, when sin is made evident by the law. Hence the verb, ἐξαπατᾷν, must be understood, not of the thing itself, but of our knowledge; that is, that it is made manifest by the law how much we have departed from the right course. It must then be necessarily rendered, led me out of the way; for hence sinners, who before went on heedlessly, loathe and abominate themselves, when they perceive, through the light which the law throws on the turpitude of sin, that they had been hastening to death. But he away introduces the word occasion, and for this purpose — that we may know that the law of itself does not bring death, but that this happens through something else, and that this is as it were adventitious. ²¹⁵

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Rom 7:11 - For sin, taking occasion by the commandment // Deceived me // And by it slew me

For sin, taking occasion by the commandment: see the notes on Rom 7:8 .

Deceived me i.e. seduced and drew me aside, Heb 3:13 Jam 1:14 .

And by it slew me i.e. it drove me into despair, or delivered me over to death and damnation, and made me obnoxious thereunto.

Gill: Rom 7:11 - For sin taking occasion by the commandment // deceived me // and by it slew me

For sin taking occasion by the commandment,.... As in Rom 7:8,

deceived me; either by promising pleasure or impunity: the same effect is ascribed by the Jews to the evil imagination or corruption of nature, which they say is called an enticer, שמפתה אדם, "that deceives man" ^g:

and by it slew me; mortally wounded me: not the law, but sin by the law, deceived and slew him; so that as before, the law is cleared from being the cause of sin, so here, from being the cause of death; for though the law is a killing letter, the ministration of condemnation and death, yet it is not the cause of it; but sin, which is a transgression of the law, is that which deceives or leads out of the way, as the word signifies, and then kills. The metaphor is taken from a thief or a robber, who leads a man out of the way into some bypath, and then murders him.
