Romans 3:19-20
19Now we know that whatever athe law says it speaks to those who are under the law, bso that every mouth may be stopped, and cthe whole world may be held accountable to God. 20For dby works of the law no human being ▼▼Greek flesh
will be justified in his sight, since fthrough the law comes knowledge of sin. Romans 4:15
15For gthe law brings wrath, but hwhere there is no law ithere is no transgression.Romans 5:20
20Now jthe law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, kgrace abounded all the more,Romans 7:7-11
The Law and Sin
7What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, lI would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if mthe law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8But sin, nseizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. oFor apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10The very commandment pthat promised life proved to be death to me. 11For sin, qseizing an opportunity through the commandment, rdeceived me and through it killed me.Romans 7:14
14For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, ssold under sin.Romans 7:22-23
22For tI delight in the law of God, uin my inner being, 23but I see in my members vanother law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.Romans 8:2
2For the law of wthe Spirit of life xhas set you ▼▼Some manuscripts me
free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Romans 10:4-5
4For zChrist is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. ▼▼Or end of the law, that everyone who believes may be justified
The Message of Salvation to All
5For abMoses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that acthe person who does the commandments shall live by them.Galatians 3:10
The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
10For all who rely on works of the law are adunder a curse; for it is written, ae“Cursed be everyone who does not afabide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”Galatians 3:24
24So then, agthe law was our ahguardian until Christ came, aiin order that we might be justified by faith.
