Law » What the law is
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the Law.
Verse Concepts
Because by works of the Law no flesh shall be accepted as righteous: for by the Law is the knowledge of sin.
Verse Concepts
What then shall we say? Is the Law sin? God forbid! But I should not have known sin, except by the Law; for I should not have known sinful desire, unless the Law had said, "Thou shalt not covet." But sin, seizing the opportunity, wrought in me by means of the commandment all manner of sinful desire; for without the Law sin is dead. And I, apart from the Law, was once alive; but when the commandment came, sin came to life again, and I died; read more.
and the very commandment whose design was life, I found to issue in death. For sin, seizing the opportunity, deceived me through the commandment, and through it slew me. So that the Law is holy, and the commandment holy, and right, and good. Did then that which is good become death to me? Far be it! but sin; that it might become manifest as sin, causing death to me by means of that which is good; that sin by means of the commandment might become exceedingly sinful. For we know that the Law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, a slave sold to sin. For I know not what I do. For I do not what I would, but I do what I hate. But if I do what I would not, I assent to the Law that it is good.

To what end then was the Law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should come to whom the promise belongeth, having been ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. Now no mediator is a mediator of one; but God is one. Is then the Law against the promises of God? Far be it! For if a law had been given which was able to give life, righteousness would indeed have been by the Law; read more.
but the Scripture shut up all under sin, that the blessing promised through faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the Law, shut up unto the faith which was to be revealed. So then the Law hath been our schoolmaster, to lead us to Christ, that we might be accepted as righteous through faith; but faith having come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus; for as many of you as were baptized into Christ, did put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is no male and female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus; and if ye belong to Christ, then are ye Abrahams offspring, heirs according to the promise.
