Paul is not asking for information, but is using the question form to emphasize the truth of what he is saying.

(See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]]) 2:17 yy9s μὴ γένοιτο 1 The expression **May it never be** gives the strongest possible negative answer to the preceding rhetorical question **is Christ a minister of sin**?

When he speaks of rebuilding **those things** he is referring to going back again to acting like, and teaching, that it is necessary to keep the laws of Moses. Paul is saying in this verse that he would be sinning if he **again** tried to go back to living as if it was necessary to obey the laws of Moses after becoming convinced that it was not necessary to obey them in order to please God. If your readers would not understand what it means to **rebuild** or destroy in this context, you could use an equivalent metaphor from your culture. Alternatively, you could express the meaning plainly, or you could use a simile, as modeled by the UST.

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile as modeled by the UST. Alternate translation: “I, through the law, died to being under the control of the law and am no longer subject to it” or “I, through the law, stopped being subject to the authority of the law of Moses” (2) be a metaphor in which the phrase **through the law** means “by means of the law of Moses” and the phrase **died to the law** means “considered as dead to the requirements of the law of Moses through union with Christ.” The phrase **died to the law** would then refer to believers’ vicarious death with Christ through their believing in him and their consequent union with him which they have as a result of their faith in him. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning plainly or use a simile. (See [Rom 7:4](../07/04.md) and [Gal 4:4-5](../04/04.md)) Alternate translation: “I, through the law, died to the requirements of the law through my union with Christ” (See: [[rc://*/ta/man/translate/figs-metaphor]]) 2:19 zqqw διὰ νόμου 1 Alternate translation: “by means of the law” 2:19 v3t5 rc://*/ta/man/translate/grammar-collectivenouns νόμου νόμῳ 1 See how you translated the phrase **the law** in [2:16](../02/016.md).
