Did then that which is good become death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good;—that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.
Open English Bible (OEB)English
Did, then, a thing, which in itself was good, involve death in my case? Heaven forbid! It was sin that involved death; so that, by its use of what I regarded as good to bring about my death, its true nature might appear; and in this way the Commandment showed how intensely sinful sin is.
Elberfelder Bibel (ELB)Deutsch
Gereichte nun das Gute mir zum Tode? Das sei ferne! Sondern die Sünde, auf daß sie als Sünde erschiene, indem sie durch das Gute mir den Tod bewirkte, auf daß die Sünde überaus sündig würde durch das Gebot.
Reina-Valera (RV)Español
¿Luego lo que es bueno, á mí me es hecho muerte? No; sino que el pecado, para mostrarse pecado, por lo bueno me obró la muerte, haciéndose pecado sobremanera pecante por el mandamiento.
Bíblia Livre (BL)Português
Então o que é bom se tornou para mim morte? De maneira nenhuma! Mas foi o pecado, para que se mostrasse como pecado, que operou a morte em mim por meio do bem, a fim de que, por meio do mandamento, o pecado se tornasse excessivamente pecaminoso.
Nova Versão (NVA)Português
Portanto, o que era bom tornou-se morte para mim? De modo algum. Mas o pecado, para que se mostrasse como pecado por meio do que é bom, produziu em mim a morte. Isso, para que através do mandamento o pecado se revelasse pecaminoso, além da medida.
