For all who have sinned without law will also perish without law; and all who have sinned under law will be judged by law.

For it is not the hearers of law who are righteous in the eyes of God; nay, it is the doers of law who will be accounted righteous.

For when Gentiles, who have no law, obey by natural instinct the commands of the Law, they even though they have no law, are a law to themselves.

For they show that the work of the Law is written in their hearts, while their conscience bears them witness, as their reasonings accuse, or it may be defend, them,

Now if you bear the name of a Jew, and rely upon law, and boast yourself in God,

and know his will, and can test the things that differ; if you are instructed out of the Law,

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of the young, because you have in the Law the form of knowledge and of the truth??ell then, you who are teaching others, do you ever teach yourself?

You who are making your boast in the Law, do you habitually dishonor God through your transgressions of the Law?

Circumcision does indeed profit, if you are obedient to the Law; but if you habitually break the Law, your circumcision is become uncircumcision.

So if the uncircumcised keeps the ordinance of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be reckoned equivalent to circumcision.

And shall not those who are physically uncircumcised, but who keep the Law, condemn you who are a breaker of the Law, although you have a written law and circumcision?

Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be shut, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

For no man will be justified in God's sight by works of the Law; for through the Law comes the consciousness of sin.

But now, quite apart from any law, a righteousness coming from God has been fully brought to light, continually witnessed to by the Law and the Prophets.

Then what becomes of boasting? It is shut out. What sort of law forbids it? A law of works? No, but a law of faith.

For I conclude that a man is justified by faith, altogether apart from the deeds of the Law.

Do we then render law invalid through faith? Certainly not; on the contrary we make it stand.

For the promise that he should be heir of the world did not come to Abraham or to his posterity through law, but through faith-righteousness.

For if those who are righteous through law are heirs, faith is empty and the promise becomes void.

For law works wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

For prior to the Law, sin actually existed in the world, but sin was not set down to man's account when there was no law.

Now law was brought in so that transgression might abound; but where sin abounded, grace super-abounded;

For sin shall not lord it over you; for you are not under the rule of law, but under the rule of grace.

What then? Shall we commit an act of sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not.

Surely, brothers, you know (for I am speaking to those who know what law means) that law governs a person only during his lifetime?

For a married woman who has a husband is bound by law to her husband during his lifetime; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband.

So then, if during her husband lifetime, she unites herself with another man, she will be counted an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the Law, so that she is no adulteress, even if she unites herself with another man.

So also, my brother, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead that we might bear fruit for God.

For while we were unspiritual, the sinful passions, aroused by the Law, were ever active in every part of our bodies, leading us to bear fruit unto death.

But now we have been released from the Law, because we are dead to that in which we were held; so that we are now in thralldom in new and spiritual conditions, and not under the old written code.

What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Certainly not. On the contrary I should not have become acquainted with sin had it not been for the Law; for except the Law had repeatedly said, "Thou shalt not lust," I should never have known the sin of lust.

But when sin had gained a vantage-ground, by means of the commandment, it stirred up within me all manner of lust; for where there is no law, sin is dead.

Once I lived apart from the Law, myself; but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died;

So then the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

For we know that the Law is spiritual; but as for me, I am a creature of flesh, bought and sold under the dominion of sin.

If then I habitually do what I do not intend to do, I am consenting to the Law, that it is right.

I find, then, this law, that when I intend to do good, evil is ever present with me.

For in my inmost self I delight in the law of God;

but I find a different law in my bodily faculties, waging war with the law of my will, and taking me prisoner to that law of sin which is in my bodily faculties.

Oh, thank God! it is through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then I myself in my will am in thralldom to the law of God; yet in my animal nature I am in thralldom to the law of sin.

for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

For God has done what the Law could not do, weakened as it was by flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and on account of sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

in order that the Law might be fulfilled in us who order our lives not after the flesh, but after the spirit.

For to be earthly minded is enmity against God; For such a mind is not subject to the Law of God, Nor can it be;

I am speaking the truth in Christ, it is no lie. My conscience bears me witness in the Holy Spirit that I have deep sorrow

For they are Israelites; to them belong the sonship, the Shekinah glory, the covenants, the giving of the Law; the service of the temple, and the promises;

But that the descendants of Israel, who were in pursuit of a law of righteousness, did not arrive at that law?

even as it is written. Behold, I lay in Zion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense; but he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame.

For to every believer Christ is an end of law as a means of righteousness.

For Moses writes concerning the righteousness of the Law, saying, The man that doeth it shall live by it.

Never owe any one anything save the debt of brotherly love; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the Law.

For the Law which says, Thou shalt not commit adultery, thou shalt do no murder, thou shalt not steal, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not covet, and whatever other commandment there be??s all summed up in this one saying, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.

Love never wrongs his neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilment of the Law.
