9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

9 At one time I lived without understanding the law. But when I learned the command not to covet, for instance, the power of sin came to life,

9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

9 I was alive before I knew the law. But when the law’s command came to me, then sin began to live,

9 And I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;

9 But I was alive without law once; but the commandment having come, sin revived, but I died.

9 At one time I was alive without any laws. But when this commandment came, sin became alive

9 Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life

9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived

9 And I was alive once, apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life

9 Before I knew about the law, I was alive. But then the commandment came. Sin came to life, and I died.

9 I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;
