ARE you unacquainted, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know the law,) that the law exercises dominion over a person for as long time as he liveth?

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

(for when the Gentiles, who have not the law naturally, do the things of the law, these, though not having the law, are a law unto themselves:

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? God forbid. Yea, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not even known concupiscence, unless the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.

but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that ye might be for another, who was raised from the dead, that we might bring forth fruit for God.

for the hearers of the law are not righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be counted righteous;

thou who gloriest in the law, dishonourest thou God by the transgression of the law?

For circumcision indeed is advantageous, if thou practise the law: but if thou art a transgressor of the law, thy circumcision becomes uncircumcision,

And the uncircumcision by nature which fulfilleth the law shall condemn thee, who through the letter and circumcision art a transgressor of the law.

Now we know that whatsoever things the law saith, it speaks to those who are under the law: that every mouth might be sealed up, and all the world become criminal before God.

Wherefore by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before God: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

But now distinct from the law the righteousness of God is manifest, receiving testimony from the law and the prophets;

Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what law? of works? No: but by the law of faith.

Do we then abolish the law through faith? God forbid: but on the contrary, we give the law stability.

for the law causeth wrath: for where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed if there be no law.

But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead.

I give thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Well then, I myself with my mind am servant to the law of God; but in my flesh to the law of sin.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of death.

But Israel, pursuing after the law of righteousness, hath not come up to the law of righteousness.
