But sin took the opportunity ... brought about every lust

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

lust

This word includes both the desire to have what belongs to other people and wrong sexual desire.

without the law, sin is dead

"if there were no law, there would be no breaking of the law, so there would be no sin"
