[和合本] 既然如此，那良善的是叫我死吗？断乎不是！叫我死的乃是罪。但罪藉着那良善的叫我死，就显出真是罪，叫罪因着诫命更显出是恶极了。
[新标点] 既然如此，那良善的是叫我死吗？断乎不是！叫我死的乃是罪。但罪借着那良善的叫我死，就显出真是罪，叫罪因着诫命更显出是恶极了。
[和合修] 那么，那善的是叫我死吗？绝对不是！叫我死的是罪。罪藉着那善的叫我死，为要显出这真是罪，以致罪藉着诫命更显出是恶极了。
[新译本] 既是这样，那良善的反而使我死吗？绝对不是！但罪借着那良善的使我死，就显出真是罪，为了要使罪借着诫命变成更加邪恶。
[当代修] 既然如此，难道是良善的诫命叫我死吗？当然不是！是罪借着良善的诫命叫我死。这样，罪借着诫命叫我死就显出它实在是邪恶至极！
[现代修] 这样说来，是那良善的使我死亡吗？当然不是！是罪！只是罪藉着那良善的，带来死亡，为要使罪的真面目更加明显。藉着法律的命令，罪的恶性就变本加厉了。
[吕振中] 那么善是在我身上生出死来么？断乎不是。不，是罪，罪为要显明它是罪，便藉着善在我身上造出死来，叫罪藉着诫命显出它是有罪到极点的。
[思高本] 那么，是善事使我死了吗？绝对不是！而是罪恶。罪恶为显示罪恶的本性，藉着善事为我产生了死亡，以致罪恶藉着诫命成了极端的凶恶。
[文理本] 然则善其死我乎、非也、但罪因善而死我、以显其为罪、俾罪因诫而致其极耳、
[GNT] But does this mean that what is good caused my death? By no means! It was sin that did it; by using what is good, sin brought death to me, in order that its true nature as sin might be revealed. And so, by means of the commandment sin is shown to be even more terribly sinful.
[BBE] But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.
[KJV] 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.

[NASB] Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? (Lit May it never happen!)Far from it! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by bringing about my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.
[NRSV] Did what is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, working death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.

[CSB] Therefore, did what is good cause my death? Absolutely not! On the contrary, sin, in order to be recognized as sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin might become sinful beyond measure.
[AMP] Did that which is good then prove fatal [bringing death] to me? Certainly not! It was sin, working death in me by using this good thing [as a weapon], in order that through the commandment sin might be shown up clearly to be sin, that the extreme malignity and immeasurable sinfulness of sin might plainly appear.
[NLT] 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.
[YLT] That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,
