Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
All Commentaries on Romans 7:12 Go To Romans 7
Gennadius of Constantinople
AD 471
“Law” and “commandment” are synonymous in this case. The commandment is called “holy” because it takes us away from sin and sets us apart from evil; “just” because with its righteousness it honors those who obey it and punishes those who transgress it; “good” because it leads us to the good, and this because of the goodness given by God. The law is not sin just because it shows me what is evil but the opposite. .
