Then what shall we say? is the law sin? It could not be so; but I did not know sin except through the law: for indeed I had not known lusts, unless the law said, Thou shalt not covet. But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, did work in me all concupiscence; for without law sin was dead. But I was alive at one time without law: but the commandment having come, sin revived, read more.
and I died; and the commandment, which was unto life, the same was unto death. For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it slew me. So the law is indeed holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good. Then did that which is good become death to me? it could not be so: but sin, that it may appear sin, through the good was working out death to me, in order that sin may be exceedingly sinful through the commandment. For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, having been sold under sin. For that which I do, I know not: for I do that which I do not will; but I do that which I hate. But if I do that which I do not will, I consent to the law that it is beautiful;

Then what is the law? It was added on account of the transgressions, until the seed to whom the promise was made should come; being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. A mediator is not of one; but God is one. Then was the law against the promises of God? it could not be so. For if the law was given being able to create life, truly justification would have been by law: read more.
but the scripture has shut up all things unto sin, in order that the promise through faith of Jesus Christ may be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept under law, being shut up to the faith about to be revealed. Therefore the law became our schoolmaster to lead us to Christ, in order that we may be justified by faith; but faith having come, we are no longer under the schoolmaster. For you are all the sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus; for so many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is no longer Jew nor Greek, nor bond nor free, nor male and female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus. But if you belong to Christ then you are the seed of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

But we know that the law is good, if any one may use it lawfully;
