The preaching of the letter declares sinners can and must keep the law given at Mt. Sinai. One way the letter killeth is by sin deceiving men into thinking they can keep the letter of the law, as it once deceived the apostle Paul. (Rom 7: 11)  Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just and good.” (Rom 7: 12) “Wherefore” refers to the prior verses where Christ made Paul hear the law declare Paul’s law-keeping as only sin and death. “Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just and good,” not because it tells me I am holy, just and good, but because even after all my very best effort to keep the law it declares I am not.
