那本來使人活的誡命，反而使我死了；

那本来叫人活的诫命，反倒叫我死；

我就死了。那本该叫人活的诫命反而叫我死。

我就死了。那本该叫人活的诫命反而叫我死。

我发现那本来要使人活的诫命反而叫我死，

那本来使人活的诫命，反而使我死了；

我却死了。于是我发现，那本该带来生命的诫命，它却导致了死亡。

那本來叫人活的誡命，反倒叫我死；

我就死了。那本該叫人活的誡命反而叫我死。

我就死了。那本該叫人活的誡命反而叫我死。

我發現那本來要使人活的誡命反而叫我死，

那本來要叫人活的誡命、我見得倒是叫人死的，

我卻死了。於是我發現，那本該帶來生命的誡命，它卻導致了死亡。

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.

and I died. So I discovered that the law’s commands, which were supposed to bring life, brought spiritual death instead.

and I died. The commandment that was meant for life resulted in death for me.

and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death.

and the commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death:

And the commandment, which[ was ordained] to life, I found[ to be] unto death.

論到出於律法的義，摩西寫著說：“遵行這些事的人就必因這些事而活。”

所以你們要謹守我的律例和典章；人應該遵行這些，按照它們生活，我是耶和華。

可是他們的兒女背叛了我，沒有遵行我的律例，也沒有謹守實行我的典章（人如果遵行這些律例典章，就必因此活著），褻瀆了我的安息日；那時我說我要把我的烈怒倒在他們身上，在曠野向他們發盡我的怒氣。

我把我的律例賜給他們，把我的典章指示他們；人如果遵行，就必因此活著。

他回答：“你要全心、全性、全力、全意愛主你的神，並且要愛鄰舍如同自己。”耶穌說：“你答得對，你這樣行，就必得生命。”那人想證明自己有理，就對耶穌說：“誰是我的鄰舍呢？”

如果那以文字刻在石上使人死的律法的工作，尚且帶有榮光，以致以色列人因著摩西臉上短暫的榮光，不能注視他的臉，

律法本來不是出於信，而是說：“遵行這些事的人，就必因這些事而活。”

可是以色列家在曠野背叛了我，沒有遵行我的律例，棄絕了我的典章（人如果遵行這些，就必因此活著），大大褻瀆了我的安息日，那時我說我要把我的烈怒倒在他們身上，在曠野把他們滅絕。
