- Romans 2:13(For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified.For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but it is the doers of the law who will be declared righteous.
- Romans 2:14For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
- Romans 2:15Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them

- Romans 3:19Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God.

He is the father of us all.

- Romans 7:2For the woman which hath an husband is bound by the law to her husband so long as he liveth; but if the husband be dead, she is loosed from the law of her husband.For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage.
- Romans 7:3So then if, while her husband liveth, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress: but if her husband be dead, she is free from that law; so that she is no adulteress, though she be married to another man.So then, if she is joined to another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from that law and is not an adulteress, even if she marries another man.
- Romans 7:4Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.Therefore, my brothers, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, that you might belong to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit to God.
- Romans 7:5For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.For when we lived according to the flesh, the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, bearing fruit for death.
- Romans 7:6But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.But now, having died to what bound us, we have been released from the law, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
- Romans 7:7What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”
- Romans 7:8But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.
- Romans 7:9For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

- Romans 7:14For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
- Romans 7:16If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.
- Romans 7:21I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.So this is the principle I have discovered: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me.
- Romans 7:22For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.
- Romans 7:23But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.
- Romans 7:25I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
- Romans 8:2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

- Romans 9:31But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.
- Romans 9:32Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone;Why not? Because their pursuit was not by faith, but as if it were by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,
