Romans 10:5 quotes the law's promise of life for obedience — the very promise that brought death here due to sin.

Leviticus 18:5 is the original 'do them and live' decree — the life-giving law that instead brought death here.

In Ezekiel 20:13, the same principle: God's statutes were given for life, but Israel's rebellion brought death.

In Ezekiel 20:21, the identical phrase 'by which if a person does them he shall live' appears again, reinforcing the life-giving intent of the law that rebellion thwarted.

In Luke 10:27-29, the lawyer quotes the command 'do this and you will live' but seeks self-justification, showing the command's life promise and human failure.

In 2 Corinthians 3:7, Paul calls the law the 'ministry of death' — the same reality that the commandment, though intended for life, brings death.

In Genesis 2:17, the first command promised death for disobedience — the prototype of a command intended for life that brought death through sin.

Ezekiel 20:11 repeats the life-through-obedience principle — same promise that became death in practice.
