KJV ORIGINAL
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.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Wait, are you saying the good law is what killed me? No way. It's sin that's the problem — sin used something good (the law) to mess me up and bring death. God let this happen so we could see sin for what it really is: absolutely toxic.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
The law isn't the villain — it just exposed how destructive sin actually is.
