But whosoever hath sinned without law, shall perish without law. And as many as have sinned under the law, shall be judged by the law.

For if the gentiles, which have no law, do of nature the things contained in the law: then they having no law, are a law unto themselves,

Where is then thy rejoicing? It is excluded. By what law? By the law of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid: but I knew not what sin meant but by the law. For I had not known what lust had meant, except the law had said, "Thou shalt not lust."

But I see another law in my members rebelling against the law of my mind, and subduing me unto the law of sin, which is in my members.
