'Orders' in the Bible

And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.

Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.
