Romans 7:13

Did that which is good [the Law], then become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, in order that it might be revealed as sin, was producing death in me by [using] this good thing [as a weapon], so that through the commandment sin would become exceedingly sinful. The Conflict of Two Natures

Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

I can already hear your next question: “Does that mean I can’t even trust what is good [that is, the law]? Is good just as dangerous as evil?” No again! Sin simply did what sin is so famous for doing: using the good as a cover to tempt me to do what would finally destroy me. By hiding within God’s good commandment, sin did far more mischief than it could ever have accomplished on its own. 14-16 I can anticipate the response that is coming: “I know that all God’s commands are spiritual, but I’m not. Isn’t this also your experience?” Yes. I’m full of myself—after all, I’ve spent a long time in sin’s prison. What I don’t understand about myself is that I decide one way, but then I act another, doing things I absolutely despise. So if I can’t be trusted to figure out what is best for myself and then do it, it becomes obvious that God’s command is necessary. 17-20 But I need something more! For if I know the law but still can’t keep it, and if the power of sin within me keeps sabotaging my best intentions, I obviously need help! I realize that I don’t have what it takes. I can will it, but I can’t do it. I decide to do good, but I don’t really do it; I decide not to do bad, but then I do it anyway. My decisions, such as they are, don’t result in actions. Something has gone wrong deep within me and gets the better of me every time. 21-23 It happens so regularly that it’s predictable. The moment I decide to do good, sin is there to trip me up. I truly delight in God’s commands, but it’s pretty obvious that not all of me joins in that delight. Parts of me covertly rebel, and just when I least expect it, they take charge.

Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful. The Conflict of Two Natures

¿Pero acaso significa esto que lo bueno (me refiero a la ley) fue causa de muerte para mí? ¡De ninguna manera! Solo que el pecado, llegando al más alto grado de sus posibilidades pecaminosas, se valió de lo que era bueno para acarrearme la muerte.

Did what is good cause me to die? Not at all! Sin had to be recognized for what it really is. So it used what is good to bring about my death. Because of the commandment, sin became totally sinful.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognised as sin, it used what is good to bring about my death, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

But how can that be? Did the law, which is good, cause my death? Of course not! Sin used what was good to bring about my condemnation to death. So we can see how terrible sin really is. It uses God’s good commands for its own evil purposes. Struggling with Sin

فَهَلْ صَارَ مَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ مَوْتاً لِي؟ حَاشَا! وَلَكِنَّ الْخَطِيئَةَ، لِكَيْ تَظْهَرَ أَنَّهَا خَطِيئَةٌ، أَنْتَجَتْ لِيَ الْمَوْتَ بِمَا هُوَ صَالِحٌ، حَتَّى تَصِيرَ الْخَطِيئَةُ خَاطِئَةً جِدّاً بِسَبَبِ الْوَصِيَّةِ.

Nagakahulogan ba nga ang maayo naghatod kanako sa kamatayon? Dili! Gihukman ako tungod sa akong sala. Ug pinaagi niini nakita nato nga daotan gayod ang sala, kay gigamit niya ang maayo aron masilotan ako sa kamatayon. Busa pinaagi sa Kasugoan nga maayo, nadayag kon unsa kadaotan ang sala. Ang Maayo nga Buot Buhaton sa Tawo Dili Niya Mahimo

Jamen, hvis loven er god, hvordan kunne den så føre til sådan en elendighed?—Det var egentlig ikke loven, der gjorde det. Det var synden. I og med at synden brugte det gode til at opnå det onde, blev det klart, hvor ond synden i virkeligheden er.

Kann aber etwas, das gut ist, meinen Tod bewirkt haben? Nein, ganz und gar nicht. Es war die Sünde! Aber gerade dadurch, dass die Sünde das Gute benutzte, um mir den Tod zu bringen, hat sie sich als Sünde entlarvt; erst durch das Gebot ist sie in ihrer ganzen Abscheulichkeit sichtbar geworden.

Pero entonces, ¿lo que es bueno se convirtió en muerte para mí? ¡De ninguna manera! Más bien fue el pecado lo que, valiéndose de lo bueno, me produjo la muerte; ocurrió así para que el pecado se manifestara claramente, o sea, para que mediante el mandamiento se demostrara lo extremadamente malo que es el pecado.

Ce qui est bon est-il devenu pour moi une cause de mort ? Loin de là ! C’est le péché ! En effet, il a provoqué ma mort en se servant de ce qui est bon, et a de la sorte manifesté sa nature de péché et son excessive perversité par le moyen du commandement.

אולם כיצד יכולה התורה להיות קדושה? האם לא התורה הקדושה היא שהמיתה אותי? ודאי שלא! החטא ניצל לרעה את הטוב כדי להביא למותי. מכאן יכולים אתם לראות עד כמה ערמומי ומסוכן הוא החטא, שכן הוא מנצל את התורה הטובה והקדושה של אלוהים למטרותיו הנאלחות.

Nagakahulugan bala nga ang maayo nagdala sa akon sang kamatayon? Indi! Ginsentensyahan ako tungod sa akon sala. Kag diri nakita ta nga malaot gid ang sala, kay gin-gamit niya ang Kasuguan nga maayo para masilutan ako sang kamatayon. Gani paagi sa Kasuguan nakita ta kon daw ano kalaot ang sala.

Kako je to moguće? Zar me je dobri Zakon natjerao u smrt? Nipošto! Grijeh je iskoristio to što je dobro da na mene navuče smrtnu osudu. Grijeh je dakle najveće zlo: koristi dobre Božje zapovijedi u zle svrhe. Borba protiv grijeha

Come si spiega, allora? Come può una cosa buona essere diventata per me causa di morte? La colpa non è della legge, ma del peccato, che, manifestandosi in tutta la sua malvagità, si è servito di una cosa buona per causare la mia condanna. Da ciò potete rendervi conto di quanto il peccato sia astuto, mortale e pericoloso, se arriva perfino a sfruttare le buone leggi di Dio per i suoi scopi malvagi.

けれども、はたして納得できますか。私に死をもたらしたのは、ほかならぬ律法なのです。だとしたら、どうして律法が良いものでありえましょう。律法を利用して死罪をもたらしたのは、悪魔的なこの罪なのです。罪がどんなにずる賢く、恐ろしく、いまわしいものかわかるでしょう。自分の悪い目的のために、ぬけぬけと律法を利用するのですから。

그렇다면 선한 것이 나에게 죽음을 가져왔다는 말입니까? 결코 그렇지 않습니다. 사실 나를 죽인 것은 죄입니다. 죄가 죄로서의 본성을 드러내기 위해 선한 그것을 이용하여 나를 죽였으니 죄는 계명으로 철저하게 악한 성격을 띠게 되었습니다. 나 자신의 모순

Var det disse gode budene som førte til at jeg måtte dø? Nei, naturligvis ikke! Det var synden som utnyttet det gode til å sette meg i den situasjonen at jeg måtte dø. Gjennom dette forstår vi hvor fryktelig synden egentlig er, etter som den til og med kan utnytte Guds bud i sine onde hensikter. Kampen mot synden

Heeft het goede dan mijn dood veroorzaakt? Geen sprake van! Het komt door de zonde, die heeft iets goeds gebruikt om mij de dood in te jagen. Daaruit blijkt haar ware aard.

Czy zatem to, co dobre, doprowadziło mnie do śmierci? Absolutnie nie! To grzech, ujawniając swoją naturę, zadał mi śmierć przez to, co jest dobre. W ten sposób, dzięki przykazaniu, wyszła na jaw jego przewrotność. Osobisty dylemat

E então, o que é bom se tornou em morte para mim? De maneira nenhuma! Mas, para que o pecado se mostrasse como pecado, ele produziu morte em mim por meio do que era bom, de modo que por meio do mandamento ele se mostrasse extremamente pecaminoso.

Mas como pode a Lei ser boa e causar a minha morte? É porque não é propriamente ela, mas sim o pecado, maligno como é, que por meio de algo que é bom serviu para me condenar. Através do mandamento o pecado revela-se extremamente perverso.

Atunci ceea ce este bun mi-a adus moarte? În nici un caz, ci păcatul a lucrat moartea în mine prin ceea ce este bun, pentru ca el să poată fi arătat ca păcat şi, prin poruncă, să devină păcătos peste măsură.

Так что же, хорошее принесло мне смерть? Нет! Но чтобы грех мог проявить себя как грех, он, действуя через хорошее, произвёл во мне смерть. И, таким образом, через повеление, мы смогли яснее увидеть насколько ужасен грех. Внутренняя борьба

Môže teda to, čo je sväté, správne a dobré, spôsobiť smrť? Nie, isteže nie! Ale tým, že hriech využil dobro, aby mi prinieslo smrť, prejavil sa ako hriech, a práve zákon ukázal celú hĺbku jeho hriešnosti.

Var det då det goda som ledde till att jag måste dö? Nej, naturligtvis inte! Det var synden som utnyttjade det goda för att få mig att dö, för att den skulle avslöjas som synd och att synden genom budordet skulle visa sin fruktansvärda syndfullhet. Kampen mot synden

Je, hii ina maana kwamba sheria ambayo ni njema ilinile tea kifo? La, sivyo. Lakini ili dhambi itambuliwe kuwa ni dhambi, iliniletea kifo kwa njia ya sheria ambayo ni nzuri; kusudi kwa njia ya sheria, dhambi ionekane kuwa mbaya kabisa. Mgongano Kati Ya Mwili Na Roho

既然如此，难道是良善的诫命叫我死吗？当然不是！是罪借着良善的诫命叫我死。这样，罪借着诫命叫我死就显出它实在是邪恶至极！ 善恶相争

既 然 如 此 ， 那 良 善 的 是 叫 我 死 麽 ？ 断 乎 不 是 ！ 叫 我 死 的 乃 是 罪 。 但 罪 藉 着 那 良 善 的 叫 我 死 ， 就 显 出 真 是 罪 ， 叫 罪 因 着 诫 命 更 显 出 是 恶 极 了 。

既然如此，難道是良善的誡命叫我死嗎？當然不是！是罪藉著良善的誡命叫我死。這樣，罪藉著誡命叫我死就顯出它實在是邪惡至極！ 善惡相爭
