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；

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，

那本來使人活的誡命，反而使我死了；

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

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

and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!

原来，有关出于律法的义，摩西写道：“遵行这些事的人，将因此而活”；

他回答说：“你要以全心、全灵、全力、全意爱主——你的神，并且要爱邻如己。”耶稣说：“你回答得对。你这样去做，就将活着。”那个人却要显示自己为义，就对耶稣说：“那么，谁是我的邻人呢？”

如果，那以条文刻在石版上、属死亡的服事工作尚且带有荣光——以致以色列子民因为摩西脸上那渐渐消失的荣光，不能注视他的脸——

律法不是本于信，但是“遵行这些事的人，将因此而活。”
