I am under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

All those who sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all those who sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it keep the law, judge thee, which being under the letter and circumcision, dost transgress the law?

What then? do we screen ourselves? Not at all! For we have before accused both Jews and Greeks of being, all under sin;

A sepulchre opened, is their throat, with their tongues, have they used deceit, the poison of asps, is under their lips,

Now we know that, whatsoever things the law saith, to them who are within the law, it speaketh, in order that, every mouth, may be stopped and all the world come, under penal sentence, unto God.

But now [i.e., under the Gospel age], a way of being considered right with God apart from [any] law has been made known. [The writings of] the law [i.e., the Pentateuch] and the prophets bear witness to this.

Under what circumstances was it credited to him as right standing? Was it after he was circumcised, or before? Not after but before he was circumcised.

For this reason, the promise [i.e., of being made right with God] comes through faith [in God], according to His unearned favor, so that it may be [given] with certainty to all of Abraham's descendants. The promise is given not only to those [who live] under the law [i.e., the Jews], but also to [all] those [who live] by faith, like Abraham. Abraham is the [spiritual] father of all of us [believers],

Under utterly hopeless circumstances he hopefully believed, so that he might become the forefather of many nations, in agreement with the words "Equally numerous shall your posterity be."

Therefore as by one offence all men fell under condemnation: even so by one act of righteousness, all men are restored to life.

Certainly not! How can we, who died to sin [i.e., stopped living under its power], go on living in it [i.e., practicing it] any longer?

So, you [too] should consider yourselves dead to sin [i.e., no longer under its power], but [spiritually] alive to God, in [fellowship with] Christ.

For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

And do not offer the parts of your bodies [i.e., hands, eyes, etc. See Matt. 5:29-30] as tools for [accomplishing] evil purposes; but [instead] offer yourselves to God, as [people who are] alive from the dead [i.e., no longer under the power of sin] and the parts of your bodies as tools for [accomplishing] righteous purposes for God.

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

What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under law but under favour? Far be it!

But praise be to God that though you were the servants of sin, you have now given yourselves freely to that form of teaching under which you were placed;

For when ye were servants of sin, ye were not under righteousness.

For the woman under authority to the living husband has been bound by law, but if the husband should die, she has been released from the law of the husband.

This accounts for the fact that if during her husband's life she lives with another man, she will be stigmatized as an adulteress; but that if her husband is dead she is no longer under the old prohibition, and even though she marries again, she is not an adulteress.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions while we were under the law operated in our bodies so as to bring forth fruit unto death.

But now that we have died to what controlled us and have been released from [the requirements of] the law of Moses [i.e., under the Gospel age], we serve [God] in a new way [directed] by the Holy Spirit [Note: Some take "Spirit" here to be "spirit" and see it as describing the inner person], and not in the old way [directed] by the written law of Moses.

and I died [i.e., came under its power]. And [so] the commandment, which was [intended] to bring [spiritual] life, actually brought [spiritual] death.

Was that, then, which is good made death unto me? God forbid. Nay, sin was death unto me, that it might appear: how that sin by the means of that which is good, had wrought death in me: that sin which is under the commandment, might be out of measure sinful.

For we know that, the law, is spiritual, - I, however, am a creature of flesh, sold under sin;

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

What the law could not do since it was limited by the flesh, God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours under sin’s domain, and as a sin offering,

Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:

Indeed, those who are under the control of human nature cannot please God.

You, however, are not under the control of the human nature but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of the Messiah, he does not belong to him.

But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

So, brothers, we are under obligations, but not to our lower nature to live by the standard set by it;

for if you people live under [the control of] the flesh, you must die [spiritually]; but if you put to death [i.e., stop practicing] the [sinful] habits of the body by [the power of] the Holy Spirit, you will live [spiritually].

For every living thing was put under the power of change, not by its desire, but by him who made it so, in hope

Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am telling the truth as a Christian, it is no falsehood, for my conscience under the holy Spirit's influence bears me witness in it,

And not only that, but this too: Rebekah conceived twin sons by one man [under the same circumstances], by our father Isaac;

Because, not having knowledge of God's righteousness, and desiring to give effect to their righteousness, they have not put themselves under the righteousness of God.

Let their eyes become [spiritually] dim so they cannot see, and may their backs always bend [i.e., under heavy burdens]."

Consider both the kindness and the severity of God; those who fall come under his severity, but you come under the divine kindness, provided you adhere to that kindness. Otherwise, you will be cut away too.

For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

be joyful in hope; be patient under affliction; persevere in prayer;

Let everyone put himself under the authority of the higher powers, because there is no power which is not of God, and all powers are ordered by God.

So put yourselves under the authority, not for fear of wrath, but because you have the knowledge of what is right.

from a principle of conscience. for this is the reason why you also pay tribute, because under God, they are continually

And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

They certainly were delighted to do it, and they really are under obligation to them, for if the heathen peoples have shared in their spiritual blessings, they ought to serve them in material blessings.

So that I may be kept safe from those in Judaea who have not put themselves under the rule of God, and that the help which I am taking for Jerusalem may be pleasing to the saints;

And the God of peace will be crushing Satan under your feet before long. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;
