For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

For whenever the Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature the things of the law, these, [although they] do not have the law, are a law to themselves,

What then shall we say? [Is] the law sin? May it never be! But I would not have known sin except through the law, for I would not have known covetousness if the law had not said, "Do not covet."

but I observe another law in my members, at war with the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that exists in my members.
