What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, if it had not been for the Law, I would not have recognized sin. For I would not have known [for example] about coveting [what belongs to another, and would have had no sense of guilt] if the Law had not [repeatedly] said, “You shall not covet.”

For this is what the promise said: “About this time [next year] I will come, and Sarah shall have a son.”

it was said to her, “The older (Esau) will serve the younger (Jacob).”

“And it shall be that in the place where it was said to them, ‘you are not My people,’
There they shall be called sons of the living God.”

Again it says,

“Rejoice and celebrate, O Gentiles, along with His people.”
