For as many as have sinned without the law shall perish without the law, and as many as have sinned with the law shall be judged by the law,??13 for not the hearers of the law are righteous with God, but the doers of the law shall be justified;

for when the nations which have not the law perform by nature [the commandments] of the law, these who have not the law are a law to themselves,

And the uncircumcision by nature which keeps the law shall judge you who with the written law and circumcision are a transgressor of the law.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. On the contrary I knew not sin except through the law; for I had not known inordinate desire, unless the law had said, You shall not desire inordinately.

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