⁹ and if ye accept persons, sin ye do work, being convicted by the law as transgressors;

¹⁵ `Ye do not do perversity in judgment; thou dost not lift up the face of the poor, nor honour the face of the great; in righteousness thou dost judge thy fellow.

⁴⁶ Who of you doth convict me of sin? and if I speak truth, wherefore do ye not believe me?

⁹ and they having heard, and by the conscience being convicted, were going forth one by one, having begun from the elders -- unto the last; and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

¹⁵ to do judgment against all, and to convict all their impious ones, concerning all their works of impiety that they did impiously, and concerning all the stiff things that speak against Him did impious sinners.'

⁴ Every one who is doing the sin, the lawlessness also he doth do, and the sin is the lawlessness,

¹ My brethren, hold not, in respect of persons, the faith of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ,

² for if there may come into your synagogue a man with gold ring, in gay raiment, and there may come in also a poor man in vile raiment,

³ and ye may look upon him bearing the gay raiment, and may say to him, `Thou -- sit thou here well,' and to the poor man may say, `Thou -- stand thou there, or, Sit thou here under my footstool,' --

⁴ ye did not judge fully in yourselves, and did become ill-reasoning judges.

¹⁹ for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;

²⁴ and if all may prophecy, and any one may come in, an unbeliever or unlearned, he is convicted by all, he is discerned by all,

⁷ What, then, shall we say? the law `is' sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

⁸ `Thou shalt not covet;' and the sin having received an opportunity, through the command, did work in me all covetousness -- for apart from law sin is dead.

⁹ And I was alive apart from law once, and the command having come, the sin revived, and I died;

¹⁰ and the command that `is' for life, this was found by me for death;

¹¹ for the sin, having received an opportunity, through the command, did deceive me, and through it did slay `me';

¹² so that the law, indeed, `is' holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

¹³ That which is good then, to me hath it become death? let it not be! but the sin, that it might appear sin, through the good, working death to me, that the sin might become exceeding sinful through the command,

²⁰ wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

⁸ and having come, He will convict the world concerning sin, and concerning righteousness, and concerning judgment;
