Denn da wir im Fleisch waren, da waren die sündigen Lüste, welche durchs Gesetz sich erregten, kräftig in unsern Gliedern, dem Tode Frucht zu bringen.
Porque mientras estábamos en la carne, los afectos de los pecados que eran por la ley, obraban en nuestros miembros fructificando para muerte.
Porque, cuando estábamos en la carne, las pasiones pecaminosas que actuaban por medio de la ley obraban en nuestros miembros para dar fruto para la muerte.
Car, lorsque nous étions dans la chair, les passions des péchés provoquées par la loi agissaient dans nos membres, de sorte que nous portions des fruits pour la mort.
Perciocchè, mentre eravam nella carne, le passioni de’ peccati, le quali erano mosse per la legge, operavano nelle nostre membra, per fruttificare alla morte.
Porque, quando estávamos na carne, as paixões dos pecados, que são pela lei, operavam em nossos membros para darem fruto para a morte.
