For the Law only brings down God's wrath; where there is no law, there is no violation of it.

It is true sin was in the world before the Law was given, and men are not charged with sin where there is no law.

And in the very place where they were told, 'You are no people of mine,' They shall be called sons of the living God."

That is true; but it was for their want of faith that they were broken off, and it is through your faith that you stand where you do. You ought not to feel proud; you ought to be afraid,

In all this it has been my ambition to preach the good news only where Christ's name was unknown, so as not to build on foundations other men had laid.
