15 For the law brings wrath, but ^bwhere there is no law ^cthere is no transgression.

13 for sin indeed was in the world before ^mthe law was given, but ⁿsin is not counted where there is no law.

8 Now we know that ^sthe law is good, if one uses it lawfully, 9 understanding this, that the law is not laid down for the just but for the lawless and disobedient, ^tfor the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for ^uthose who strike their fathers and mothers, for ^vmurderers, 10 the sexually immoral, men who practice homosexuality, ^wenslavers,¹ liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to ^xsound² doctrine,
