是致生之誡、適以致死、

誡本生我、反以死我、

是誡本為致生、反致我死、

夫誡命所以躋我於生也、結果反以致我於死者、何也？

I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.

I found that the commandment that was supposed to bring life actually brought death.

The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.

關於律法的義，摩西寫道：「人若遵行律法的誡命，就必活著。」

你們要遵守我的典章和律例。遵行的人必存活。我是耶和華。

「『可是，他們的子孫卻背叛我，不恪守我的律例，不謹遵我的典章——遵守的人必活著。他們褻瀆我的安息日。我本想在曠野向他們發烈怒，傾倒我的怒氣，

向他們頒佈我的律例和典章，若有人遵守，就必活著。

律法教師答道：「『你要全心、全情、全力、全意愛主——你的上帝』，又要『愛鄰如己』。」耶穌說：「你答得對，照著去做就有永生了。」律法教師想證明自己有理，就問：「那麼，誰是我的鄰居呢？」

這最終帶來死亡、刻在石版上的律法條文的事工尚且有榮耀，甚至使摩西的臉上發出榮光，儘管很快就消逝了，以色列人仍然無法定睛看他，

律法卻不是以信心為本，而是說：「遵行的人必存活。」

「『可是，以色列人卻在曠野背叛我，不遵行我的律例和典章——遵行的人必活著，大肆褻瀆我的安息日。我本想在曠野向他們發烈怒，滅絕他們。
