Paul is comparing sin to a person who can act. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])

## sin, taking the opportunity through the commandment, brought about every lust in me ##
|
|

When God's law tells us not to do something, it is because we have been told not to do it that we want to do it more. AT: "sin reminded me of the commandment not to desire wrong things, and so I desired those wrong things even more than before" or "because I wanted to sin, when I heard the commandment not to desire wrong things, I desired...."

## sin ##
|
|
|
|
AT: "my desire to sin"
|
|
|
|
## lust ##
|
|
|
|
This word includes both the desire to have what belongs to other people (see UDB) and wrong sexual desire.
