What defense then have we? None at all; for we before asserted that both Jews and Greeks are all under sin,

their throat is an opened tomb, with their tongues they practise deceit, the poison of asps is under their lips.

For sin shall not have a Lordship over you; for you are not under the law but under the grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the law but under the grace? By no means.

For a woman under a husband is bound by law to a living husband; but if the husband has died she is released from the law of the husband.

For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin.

And the God of peace shall crush Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
