for as many as sinned without law shall also perish without law; and as many as sinned under law shall be judged by law;

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

(for, when gentiles who have no law do by nature the things of the law, these, having no law, are a law to themselves;

who, indeed, show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with it, and between one another their thoughts accusing or even excusing them;)

But, if you are called a Jew, and are resting upon the law, and are boasting in God,

and understand His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

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

You who boast in law, do you dishonor God through your transgression of the law?

For circumcision, indeed, profits, if you do the law; but, if you are transgressors of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

If, therefore, the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision he reckoned for circumcision?

And shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, with the letter and circumcision, to be a transgressor of the law?

But, if the truth of God, through my lie, abounded unto His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

Now we know that whatsoever the law says, it speaks to those under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may be under the sentence of God;

because, by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the law is the knowledge of sin.

But now, apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Where, then, is the boasting? It was excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? Nay; but by a law of faith.

For we reckon that a man is justified by faith, apart from works of law.

Do we, then, make void the law through faith? It could not be! Yea, we establish the law.

For, not through law, was the promise to Abraham, or to his seed, that he should be heir of the world, but it was through the righteousness of faith.

For, if those who are of the law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been brought to nought;

for the law works wrath; but where there is no law, there is no transgression.

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

for until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not reckoned, when there is no law:

And the law entered, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did super-abound;

For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under law, but under grace.

What, then? May we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? It could not be!

Or, are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know law), that the law has dominion over the man as long as he lives?

For the married woman has been bound by law to the living husband; but, if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of the husband.

So, then, if, while the husband is living, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but, if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress, though she be joined to another man.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye might be joined to another??o Him Who was raised from the dead??hat we might bear fruit to God.

For, when we were in the flesh, the passions of sins, which were through the law, were working in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

But now we have been fully discharged from the law, having died to that in which we were held; so that we serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It could not be! But I had not known sin, except through law; for I would not know even coveting, if the law did not say, "You shall not covet;"

but sin, taking occasion through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting; for apart from law sin is dead.

And I was alive apart from the law once; but, when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

So that the law is holy, and the command is holy and righteous and good.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

But, if what I wish not, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

Consequently, I find the law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is present.

or I delight in the law of God after the inward man;

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! Accordingly, therefore, I myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but, with the flesh, the law of sin.

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and death.

For, what was impossible under law, wherein it was weak through the flesh. God, sending His Own Son in likeness of sinful flesh, and, respecting sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither, indeed, can it be;

who, indeed, are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;

but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not attain to such a law.

as it has been written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offense; and he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame."

for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one who believes.

For Moses writes that the man who did the righteousness of the law shall live thereby;

Owe no one anything, but to love one another; for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.

Love works no ill to one's neighbor: therefore, love is a fulfillment of the law.
