Das Gesetz aber ist neben eingekommen, auf daß die Sünde mächtiger würde. Wo aber die Sünde mächtig geworden ist, da ist doch die Gnade viel mächtiger geworden,
La ley empero entró para que el pecado creciese; mas cuando el pecado creció, sobrepujó la gracia;
La ley se introdujo para que aumentara la transgresión; pero donde abundó el pecado, sobreabundó la gracia,
Or, la loi est intervenue pour que l'offense abondât, mais là où le péché a abondé, la grâce a surabondé,
Or la legge intervenne, acciocchè l’offesa abbondasse; ma, dove il peccato è abbondato, la grazia è soprabbondata;
Veio, porém, a lei para que a ofensa abundasse; mas, onde o pecado abundou, superabundou a graça;
而且加添了律法,使得過犯增加,只是罪在哪裏增加,恩典就在哪裏越發豐盛了。
