³¹ Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

⁷ What 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.^(A)

¹² Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
