for as many as without law did sin, without law also shall perish, and as many as did sin in law, through law shall be judged,

for not the hearers of the law are righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: --

For, when nations that have not a law, by nature may do the things of the law, these not having a law -- to themselves are a law;

who do shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also witnessing with them, and between one another the thoughts accusing or else defending,

Lo, thou art named a Jew, and dost rest upon the law, and dost boast in God,

and dost know the will, and dost approve the distinctions, being instructed out of the law,

an instructor of foolish ones, a teacher of babes, having the form of the knowledge and of the truth in the law.

thou who in the law dost boast, through the transgression of the law God dost thou dishonour?

For circumcision, indeed, doth profit, if law thou mayest practise, but if a transgressor of law thou mayest be, thy circumcision hath become uncircumcision.

If, therefore the uncircumcision the righteousness of the law may keep, shall not his uncircumcision for circumcision be reckoned?

and the uncircumcision, by nature, fulfilling the law, shall judge thee who, through letter and circumcision, art a transgressor of law.

And we have known that as many things as the law saith, to those in the law it doth speak, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may come under judgment to God;

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

And now apart from law hath the righteousness of God been manifested, testified to by the law and the prophets,

Where then is the boasting? it was excluded; by what law? of works? no, but by a law of faith:

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.

For not through law is the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, of his being heir of the world, but through the righteousness of faith;

for if they who are of law are heirs, the faith hath been made void, and the promise hath been made useless;

for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither is transgression.

Because of this it is of faith, that it may be according to grace, for the promise being sure to all the seed, not to that which is of the law only, but also to that which is of the faith of Abraham,

for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;

And law came in, that the offence might abound, and where the sin did abound, the grace did overabound,

for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

What then? shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? let it not be!

Are ye ignorant, brethren -- for to those knowing law I speak -- that the law hath lordship over the man as long as he liveth?

for the married woman to the living husband hath been bound by law, and if the husband may die, she hath been free from the law of the husband;

so, then, the husband being alive, an adulteress she shall be called if she may become another man's; and if the husband may die, she is free from the law, so as not to be an adulteress, having become another man's.

So that, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of the Christ, for your becoming another's, who out of the dead was raised up, that we might bear fruit to God;

for when we were in the flesh, the passions of the sins, that are through the law, were working in our members, to bear fruit to the death;

and now we have ceased from the law, that being dead in which we were held, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

What, then, shall we say? the law is sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

so that the law, indeed, is holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

for we have known that the law is spiritual, and I am fleshly, sold by the sin;

And if what I do not will, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good,

I find, then, the law, that when I desire to do what is right, with me the evil is present,

for I delight in the law of God according to the inward man,

and I behold another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of the sin that is in my members.

I thank God -- through Jesus Christ our Lord; so then, I myself indeed with the mind do serve the law of God, and with the flesh, the law of sin.

for the law of the Spirit of the life in Christ Jesus did set me free from the law of the sin and of the death;

for what the law was not able to do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, His own Son having sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, did condemn the sin in the flesh,

that the righteousness of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

because the mind of the flesh is enmity to God, for to the law of God it doth not subject itself,

Who shall lay a charge against the choice ones of God? God is He that is declaring righteous,

Truth I say in Christ, I lie not, my conscience bearing testimony with me in the Holy Spirit,

and Israel, pursuing a law of righteousness, at a law of righteousness did not arrive;

wherefore? because -- not by faith, but as by works of law; for they did stumble at the stone of stumbling,

according as it hath been written, 'Lo, I place in Sion a stone of stumbling and a rock of offence; and every one who is believing thereon shall not be ashamed.'

For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

for Moses doth describe the righteousness that is of the law, that, 'The man who did them shall live in them,'

Lo, then, goodness and severity of God -- upon those indeed who fell, severity; and upon thee, goodness, if thou mayest remain in the goodness, otherwise, thou also shalt be cut off.

To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other -- law he hath fulfilled,

the love to the neighbour doth work no ill; the love, therefore, is the fulness of law.

the night did advance, and the day came nigh; let us lay aside, therefore, the works of the darkness, and let us put on the armour of the light;

who for my life their own neck did lay down, to whom not only I give thanks, but also all the assemblies of the nations --
