For as many as sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as have sinned within Law shall be judged through Law.

For when the nations, who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves;

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Let it not be said! But I did not know sin except through the law. For also I did not know lust except the law said, You shall not lust.

but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members.
