Romans 7:4-5
New International Version
4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(A) through the body of Christ,(B) that you might belong to another,(C) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. 5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](D) the sinful passions aroused by the law(E) were at work in us,(F) so that we bore fruit for death.(G)
Footnotes

Chinese Union Version (Simplified)
4 我 的 弟 兄 们 , 这 样 说 来 , 你 们 藉 着 基 督 的 身 体 , 在 律 法 上 也 是 死 了 , 叫 你 们 归 於 别 人 , 就 是 归 於 那 从 死 里 复 活 的 , 叫 我 们 结 果 子 给 神 。
5 因 为 我 们 属 肉 体 的 时 候 , 那 因 律 法 而 生 的 恶 欲 就 在 我 们 肢 体 中 发 动 , 以 致 结 成 死 亡 的 果 子 。

King James Version
4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then?(A) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(B) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(C) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[a](D) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(E) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(F)

Chinese Union Version (Simplified)
7 这 样 , 我 们 可 说 甚 麽 呢 ? 律 法 是 罪 麽 ? 断 乎 不 是 ! 只 是 非 因 律 法 , 我 就 不 知 何 为 罪 。 非 律 法 说 不 可 起 贪 心 , 我 就 不 知 何 为 贪 心 。
8 然 而 罪 趁 着 机 会 , 就 藉 着 诫 命 叫 诸 般 的 贪 心 在 我 里 头 发 动 ; 因 为 没 有 律 法 , 罪 是 死 的 。

King James Version
7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.
