Romans 5:13

for sin was in the world before the law. Now sin is not imputed where there is no law;

Now the law worketh wrath; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

the sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law:

Every one that committeth sin, transgresseth the law; for sin is the violation of the law.

since we know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren: he, that loveth not his brother, remaineth in death.

Now the law worketh wrath; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.

the sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law:

Every one that committeth sin, transgresseth the law; for sin is the violation of the law.
