Exegesis
A second purpose clause hína génētai kath’ huperbolḗn hamartōlòs hē hamartía diá tês entolḗs {ἵνα γένηται καθʼ ὑπερβολὴν ἁμαρτωλὸς ἡ ἁμαρτία διὰ τῆς ἐντολῆς | hína génētai kath’ huperbolḗn hamartōlòs hē hamartía diá tês entolḗs} reveals that through the commandment sin becomes exceedingly sinful. English retains the rhetorical question, emphatic denial, and the dual hína clauses to reflect purpose and result.
In context — Romans 7:13
Therefore, did the good become death to me? May it never be! But it was sin , so that it might be shown to be sin by producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment , sin might become exceedingly sinful.
