⁴ Everyone who is a sinner goes against the law, for sin is going against the law.

¹⁷ All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

²¹ And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

¹⁵ For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.

²⁰ Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

⁷ What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

⁸ But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

⁹ 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;

¹⁰ And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

¹¹ For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.

¹² But the law is holy, and its orders are holy, upright, and good.

¹³ 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.

³¹ Because he had no respect for the word of the Lord, and did not keep his law, that man will be cut off without mercy and his sin will be on him.

⁸ The sinner is a child of the Evil One; for the Evil One has been a sinner from the first. And the Son of God was seen on earth so that he might put an end to the works of the Evil One.

⁹ Anyone who is a child of God does no sin, because he still has God's seed in him; he is not able to be a sinner, because God is his Father.

¹⁵ And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

⁹ But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law.

¹⁰ For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all.

¹¹ For he who said, Do not be untrue in married life, is the same who said, Put no man to death. Now if you are not untrue in married life, but you put a man to death, the law is broken.

¹¹ And all Israel have been sinners against your law, turning away so as not to give ear to your voice: and the curse has been let loose on us, and the oath recorded in the law of Moses, the servant of God, for we have done evil against him.

⁸ They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.

²⁰ Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up.

¹³ So death came to Saul because of the sin which he did against the Lord, that is, because of the word of the Lord which he kept not; and because he went for directions to one who had an evil spirit,

⁴⁷ And if they take thought, in the land where they are prisoners, and are turned again to you, crying out in prayer to you in that land, and saying, We are sinners, we have done wrong, we have done evil;

²⁴ And Saul said to Samuel, Great is my sin: for I have gone against the orders of the Lord and against your words: because, fearing the people, I did what they said.
