Or do you not know, brothers and sisters (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law is lord over a person as long as he lives?

For all who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things required by the law, these who do not have the law are a law to themselves.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said, "Do not covet."

But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous before God, but those who do the law will be declared righteous.

You who boast in the law dishonor God by transgressing the law!

For circumcision has its value if you practice the law, but if you break the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

And will not the physically uncircumcised man who keeps the law judge you who, despite the written code and circumcision, transgress the law?

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

For no one is declared righteous before him by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

But now apart from the law the righteousness of God (which is attested by the law and the prophets) has been disclosed --

Do we then nullify the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead we uphold the law.

For the law brings wrath, because where there is no law there is no transgression either.

for before the law was given, sin was in the world, but there is no accounting for sin when there is no law.

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of the marriage.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

For the law of the life-giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
