# to save a life or to kill

It may be helpful to repeat "is it lawful," as that is the question Jesus is asking again in another way. AT: "is it lawful to save a life or to kill" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis]])

|

|
|
# a life
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This refers to physical life and is a metonym for a person. AT: "someone from dying" or "someone's life" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
