King James Version
"And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death."
— Romans 7:10, King James Version
“and the commandment, which was unto life, this I found to be unto death: ”
“The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;”
“and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!”
“And I died. And the commandment that was ordained to life, the same was found to be unto death to me.”
“And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:”
“And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.”
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
And the commandment, which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death.
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.
Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
