Syndin notar lögin
En er ég þá að segja að þessi lög Guðs séu vond? Nei, auðvitað ekki. Lögin eru ekki syndsamleg, en þau sýndu mér synd mína. Ef lögin hefðu ekki sagt: „Þú skalt ekki girnast…“ þá hefði ég aldrei komið auga á syndina í hjarta mínu, þær illu hvatir og girndir sem þar leynast.
Římanům 7:7 v různých překladech
Čeština
B21
Co na to řekneme? Že Zákon je hřích? V žádném případě! Avšak nebýt Zákona, nebyl bych hřích poznal. Například o dychtivosti bych nevěděl, kdyby Zákon neříkal: „Nedychti!“
BKR
Což tedy díme? Že Zákon jest hříchem? Nikoli; nýbrž hříchu jsem nepoznal, než skrze Zákon. Nebo i o žádosti byl bych nevěděl, aby hříchem byla, by byl Zákon neřekl: Nepožádáš.
SNC
Tím však nechceme říci, že zákon není dobrý. Vždyť právě zákon nám říká, co je hřích. Kdyby zákon nezakazoval touhu po cizím vlastnictví, ani bych nevěděl, že je to něco špatného.

KJV (66 books)
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.
AFINT (Exp US)
What then shall we conclude? Is the Law itself sinful? Absolutely not! May it never be! But I would not have come to experiential knowledge of sin except through the Law’s revelation. For I would not have known the inner sin of coveting or lustful desire if the Law had not commanded, “You shall not covet.”
AFINT (Lit US)
What then shall we say? Is the Law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the Law. For I would not have known coveting if the Law had not said, “You shall not covet.”

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Howbeit, I had not known sin, except through the law: for I had not known coveting, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet:
BSB
What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
DRA
What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? God forbid. But I do not know sin, but by the law; for I had not known concupiscence, if the law did not say: Thou shalt not covet.
EMTV
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known lust unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
FBV
So what do we conclude? That the law is sin? Of course not! I wouldn't have known what sin was unless the law defined it. I wouldn't have realized that wanting to have other people's things for myself was wrong without the law that says, “Don't desire for yourself what belongs to someone else.”
GNV
What shall we say then? Is the Lawe sinne? God forbid. Nay, I knewe not sinne, but by the Lawe: for I had not knowen lust, except the Lawe had sayd, Thou shalt not lust.

What, then, will we say? The Law [is] sin? Let it not be! But I did not know sin except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the Law had not said:
NASB

NIV (US)
What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”
NMV
What shall we say then? [Is] the law sin? May it not be. No, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, youi shall not covet.
OJB
What then shall we say? That the Gezetz is considered as chet (sin)? Chas v'shalom! Nevertheless, I would not have experienced chet (sin) except through the Gezetz; for I would not have known chamdanut (covetousness, greediness) if the Torah had not said, LO TACHMOD (Thou shalt not covet).
TCENT
What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Yet I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, “Yoʋ shall not covet.”
T4T
Someone might object, saying, “◄The laws that God gave Moses must be evil if our sinful desires are increased because of our knowing those laws. [MTY]/Are not the laws that God gave Moses evil if they stir up our sinful desires?►” [MTY, RHQ] I would reply that they certainly are not evil, even though our sinful desires are increased. What I would reply is that I, for example, realized that what I was doing was sinful only because of what is written {Moses wrote} in those laws. For example, I realized that coveting is sinful only because he wrote in those laws [PRS], “You must not covet.”
WEB (US)
What shall we say then? Is the law sin? May it never be! However, I wouldn’t have known sin except through the law. For I wouldn’t have known coveting unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”
