But sin used this command to arouse all kinds of covetous desires within me! If there were no law, sin would not have that power.

然而，罪趁着机会，就藉着诫命叫诸般的贪心在我里头发动；因为没有律法，罪是死的。

但罪趁著機會，藉著誡命在我裡面發動各樣的貪心，因為沒有律法，罪是死的。

然而罪趁着機會、藉着誡命、在我身上動起各種的私慾來。因為在律法以外、罪是死的。

但是，罪藉著誡命，趁機在我裡面生出種種貪念。原來在律法之外，罪是死的。

然罪乘機、由誡而動諸欲於我中、蓋無律罪乃死、

惡以誡而乘機、眾欲動於中、未有法、則惡不生、

罪藉律法而乘機、使多慾動於我中、無律法、則罪死矣、

雖然、罪乃乘虛而入、即因其誡命而攪亂吾心、於以引起諸般淫慾。故無法則罪亦不至如此活躍耳。

But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.

But the commandment gave sin an opportunity. Sin caused me to want all kinds of things that belong to others. A person can’t sin by breaking a law if that law doesn’t exist.

But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead.

And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead.

But sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.

but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin is dead.

And sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the law sin is dead.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin[ was] dead.

But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

But sin, finding occasion through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of coveting. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

Sin took advantage of those commands and deceived me; it used the commands to kill me.

For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power.

For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it.( The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)

God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant.

So I am not the one doing wrong; it is sin living in me that does it.

They would not be guilty if I had not come and spoken to them. But now they have no excuse for their sin.

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.

Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death.

If I hadn’t done such miraculous signs among them that no one else could do, they would not be guilty. But as it is, they have seen everything I did, yet they still hate me and my Father.
