What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It could not be! But I had not known sin, except through law; for I would not know even coveting, if the law did not say, "You shall not covet;" but sin, taking occasion through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting; for apart from law sin is dead. And I was alive apart from the law once; but, when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. read more.
And the commandment which was unto life was itself found by me to be unto death; for sin, taking occasion through the commandment, thoroughly deceived me, and through it slew me. So that the law is holy, and the command is holy and righteous and good. Did, then, that which is good become death to me? It could not be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that sin, through the commandment, might become exceedingly sinful. For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. For what I accomplish, I know not; for not what I wish, this do I practice; 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.

What, then, is the law? It was added because of the transgressions, until the Seed should come to Whom it had been promised; having been arranged through angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one. Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It could not be! For, if a law had been given, which was able to make alive, truly righteousness would have been by law; read more.
but the Scripture shuts up all things under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But, before the faith came, we were kept guarded under law, being shut up to the faith about to be revealed. So that the law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But the faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor; for ye are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus; for as many of you as were immersed into Christ, did put on Christ. There exists neither Jew nor Greek, there exists neither bond nor free, there exists neither male nor female; for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And, if ye are Christ's, ye are, consequently, Abraham's seed, and heirs according to promise.

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