'Under the Law' in the Bible

For as many as have sinned without the law shall also perish without the law; and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

it saith to those under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world obnoxious to the justice of God.

For sin shall have no power over you, inasmuch as ye are not under the law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace?

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions while we were under the law operated in our bodies so as to bring forth fruit unto death.
