# Connecting Statement:
Paul talks about the struggle inside his inner man between sin in his inner man and his mind with the law of God—between sin and good.
# So
Paul is introducing a new topic.
# did what is good become death to me?
Paul uses this question to add emphasis. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# what is good
This refers to God's law.
# become death to me
"cause me to die"
# May it never be
This expression gives the strongest possible negative answer to the preceding rhetorical question. You may have a similar expression in your language that you could use here. Alternate translation: "Of course that is not true" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# sin ... brought about death in me
Paul is viewing sin as though it were a person who could act. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification]])
# brought about death in me
"separated me from God"
# through the commandment
"because I disobeyed the commandment"
