So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.

The law of the LORD is perfect and preserves one’s life. The rules set down by the LORD are reliable and impart wisdom to the inexperienced.The LORD’s precepts are fair and make one joyful. The LORD’s commands are pure and give insight for life.The commands to fear the LORD are right and endure forever. The judgments given by the LORD are trustworthy and absolutely just.They are of greater value than gold, than even a great amount of pure gold; they bring greater delight than honey, than even the sweetest honey from a honeycomb.

Do not be conformed to this present world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may test and approve what is the will of God– what is good and well- pleasing and perfect.

I realize that everything has its limits, but your commands are beyond full comprehension.מ( Mem)O how I love your law! All day long I meditate on it.Your commandments make me wiser than my enemies, for I am always aware of them.I have more insight than all my teachers, for I meditate on your rules.I am more discerning than those older than I, for I observe your precepts.I stay away from the evil path, so that I might keep your instructions.I do not turn aside from your regulations, for you teach me.Your words are sweeter in my mouth than honey!Your precepts give me discernment. Therefore I hate all deceitful actions.נ( Nun)Your word is a lamp to walk by, and a light to illumine my path.

Also, if anyone competes as an athlete, he will not be crowned as the winner unless he competes according to the rules.

Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

“ You came down on Mount Sinai and spoke with them from heaven. You provided them with just judgments, true laws, and good statutes and commandments.

So be sure to do them, because this will testify of your wise understanding to the people who will learn of all these statutes and say,“ Indeed, this great nation is a very wise people.”In fact, what other great nation has a god so near to them like the LORD our God whenever we call on him?And what other great nation has statutes and ordinances as just as this whole law that I am about to share with you today?

For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.

For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.

For this reason I love your commands more than gold, even purest gold.For this reason I carefully follow all your precepts. I hate all deceitful actions.פ( Pe)
