Romans 4:15

because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! Rather, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law. For I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, “You shall not covet.”

Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

But if the ministry of death, in letters having been engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, which was being brought to an end,

Everyone who does sin also does lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.
