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. AT: "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"
