JMNT(i)
9 Now I was at one time (or: formerly)
habitually living apart from Law (or: I was once alive, independent from custom and [Torah]);
yet, in connection with the coming of the implanted goal (of the impartation of the finished product within; of the inward commandment and directive),
the Sin becomes alive again (or: deviation, failure, error and the missing of the target revived and comes back to life),
but I die (or: and I died; yet I die).
10 Also, the implanted goal (impartation of the finished product within; inward directive; commandment) –
the one [
meant to lead]
into Life – this was found by me (for me; in me; to me) [
to be leading]
into death.
11 For the Sin (failure; error; the miss when shooting at a target; the deviation from the goal),
taking a starting point (receiving an occasion and base of operation)
through the implanted goal (impartation of the finished product within; inward directive; commandment [to Adam, then to Israel]),
completely makes me unable to walk the Path (made me incapable to walk out [customs of the Law]; thoroughly cheats and deludes me, making me lose my Way; deceives me; [comment: reference to Eve in
Gen. 3:13])
and through it kills me off (or: slaughtered me).
