Het die goeie dan vir my die dood geword?

Nee, stellig nie! Maar wel die sonde,

dat dit kon blyk sonde te wees, omdat dit

deur die goeie vir my die dood bewerk,

sodat die sonde deur die gebod

uitermate sondig kon word.

ROMEINE 7

After this the Lord brought to my mind

the longing that I had to Him afore.

And I saw that nothing letted me but sin.

And so I looked generally, upon us all,

and methought: If sin had not been,

we should all have been clean and like

to our Lord, as He made us …

But Jesus, who in this Vision, informed me

of all that is needful to me, answered

by this word and said: “It behoved that there

should be sin, but all shall be well,

and all shall be well, and all manner

of thing shall be well.”
