Good and evil » Subjective conflict between
And I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died, and the commandment which was for life was found to be for death. For sin having taken occasion through the commandment deceived me, and through it killed me. read more.
The law therefore is holy, and the commandment holy and righteous and good. Did then that which is good become death to me? By no means, but sin; that sin might be made manifest, producing death to me through that which is good, that sin might become exceedingly sinful through the commandment. For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I do this I approve not; for I do not what I wish, but what I hate, this I do. But if what I wish not this I do, I consent to the law that it is good; and now I no longer do it, but the sin that dwells in me. For I know that in me, that is in my flesh, there dwells no good. For to wish is present with me, but to do the good is not; for the good which I wish I do not, but the evil which I wish not this I do. But if what I wish not this I do, I no longer do it, but sin which dwells in me. I find therefore the law, that when I wish to do good evil is present with me; for I consent to the law of God as to my inward man, [my soul], but I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members. Miserable man that I am; who will deliver me from the body of this death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord; therefore I myself with the mind serve the law of God, and with the flesh the law of sin.

Law » Christ being the end of the law
but their minds were blinded. For to this day in reading the old covenant the same vail remains, not taken away because it is taken away in Christ; but to this day when Moses is read a vail lies upon their minds; but when they turn to the Lord the vail is taken away.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.

THERE is no condemnation therefore to those in Christ Jesus; for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and death.

ARE you ignorant, brothers, for I speak to them who understand law, that the law has authority over a man as long as he lives? For a woman under a husband is bound by law to a living husband; but if the husband has died she is released from the law of the husband. Therefore while the husband lives, she shall be called an adulteress if she is married to another man; but if the husband has died, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress if married to another man. read more.
So, my brothers, you have also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you should be married to another, to him that was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful affections operated through the law in our members to bear fruit to death; but now we are released from the law by which we were held having died, that we should serve [God] in newness of spirit, not in the old age of a writing. What shall we say then? Is the law sin? By no means. On the contrary I knew not sin except through the law; for I had not known inordinate desire, unless the law had said, You shall not desire inordinately. But Sin having taken occasion through the commandment wrought in me every inordinate desire; for without the law sin was dead. And I was alive without the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died, and the commandment which was for life was found to be for death.

knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by faith and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if seeking to be justified by Christ we are found to be ourselves also sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? By no means. For if I build up again what I have destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. read more.
For by a law I have died to the law, that I may live to God. I am crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not reject the grace of God; for if rightousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

For as many as are of works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, Cursed is every one that continues not in all things written in the book of the law to do them. And it is evident that no one is justified by the law before God, because the just shall live by faith, but the law is not of faith, but he that does these things shall live by them. read more.
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree, that the blessing of Abraham may come on the nations, in Christ Jesus, that we may receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

So also we, when we were children, were in servitude under the rudiments of the world; but when the fullness of time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, that he might redeem those under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. read more.
And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. So that you are no longer a servant, but a son; and if a son, also an heir of God. But formerly, not knowing God you served beings which are not really Gods; but now knowing God, or rather being known by God, how do you turn again to the weak and imperfect rudiments, which you wish again to serve? Do you observe days, and months, and times, and years? I am afraid of you, lest I have expended labor on you in vain.

but now, in Christ Jesus you who were formerly far off have been made nigh by the blood of Christ. For he is our peace, who made both one and broke down the middle wall of partition, the enmity, and abolished by his flesh the law of commandments [consisting] of ordinances, that of the two he might create in himself one new man, making peace,
