sin: Romans 7:11, Romans 7:13, Romans 7:17, Romans 4:15, Romans 5:20

For without: etc. Rather, "For without a law sin is dead." Where there is no law, there is no transgression; for sin is the transgression of the law. The very essence of sin consists in the violation of some positive law. Romans 4:15; John 15:22, John 15:24; 1 Corinthians 15:56
