and the commandment which was intended to life, I found to be unto death. For sin taking occasion by the commandment deceived me, and by it slew me. So that the law is holy; and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid!

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. For that which I do, I allow not: for I do not that which I would; but what I hate, this I do.

But the scripture hath shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept shut up under the law, till the faith appeared which was to be revealed. So that the law was our guide to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now faith is come we are no longer under a pedagogue. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
