All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;

For when the Gentiles without the law have a natural desire to do the things in the law, they are a law to themselves;

And they, by their keeping of the law without circumcision, will be judges of you, by whom the law is broken though you have the letter of the law and circumcision.

What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

You who take pride in the law, are you doing wrong to the honour of God by behaviour which is against the law?

It is true that circumcision is of use if you keep the law, but if you go against the law it is as if you had it not.

Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;

What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.

Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.

For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.

Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

For the woman who has a husband is placed by the law under the power of her husband as long as he is living; but if her husband is dead, she is free from the law of the husband.

But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good.

I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

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