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.
Was then {G3767} that which is good {G18} made {G1096} death {G2288} unto me {G1698}? God forbid {G3361}{G1096}. But {G235} sin {G266}, that {G2443} it might appear {G5316} sin {G266}, working {G2716} death {G2288} in me {G3427} by {G1223} that which is good {G18}; that {G2443} sin {G266} by {G1223} the commandment {G1785} might become {G1096} exceeding {G2596}{G5236} sinful {G268}.
Then did something good become for me the source of death? Heaven forbid! Rather, it was sin working death in me through something good, so that sin might be clearly exposed as sin, so that sin through the commandment might come to be experienced as sinful beyond measure.
Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
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.
