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

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

Even as David also speaks of the blessedness of the man to whom God reckoneth righteousness, apart from works,

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.
