For sin was in the world until Law, but sin is not charged where there is no law;

but death reigned from Adam until Moses, even on those who had not sinned in the likeness of Adam's transgression, who is a type of the coming One .

But the free gift is not also like the deviation. For if by the deviation of the one the many died, much more the grace of God, and the gift in grace, which is of the one Man, Jesus Christ, did abound to the many.

And the gift is not as by one having sinned; for indeed the judgment was of one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many deviations to justification.

But Law came in besides, that the deviation might abound. But where sin abounded, grace much more abounded,

But if we died with Christ, we believe that also we shall live with Him,

For in that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in that He lives, He lives to God.

So also you count yourselves to be truly dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Neither present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as one living from the dead, and your members instruments of righteousness to God.

For your sin shall not lord it over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law, but under grace? Let it not be!

But thanks be to God that you were slaves of sin, but you obeyed from the heart the form of doctrine to which you were delivered.

But now having been set free from sin, and having been enslaved to God, you have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end everlasting life.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is everlasting life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

For the married woman was bound by Law to the living husband; but if the husband dies, she is set free from the Law of the husband.

So then, if the husband is living, she will be called an adulteress if she becomes another man's. But if the husband dies, she is free from the Law, so as for her not to be an adulteress by becoming another man's.

But now we have been set free from the Law, having died to that in which we were held, so as for us to serve in newness of spirit, and not in oldness of letter.

What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? Let it not be! But I did not know sin except through Law; for also I did not know lust except the Law said, "You shall not lust." Ex. 20:17

But sin taking occasion through the commandment worked every lust in me; for apart from Law, sin is dead.

And I was alive apart from Law once, but the commandment came, and sin came alive, and I died.
