   "Freed from the Law   
      
   But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held   
   by,   
   so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of   
   the   
   letter.   
      
   What shall we say then?  Is the law sin?  Certainly not!  On the contrary, I   
   would   
   not have known sin except through the law.  For I would not have known   
   covetousness unless the law had said, “You shall not covet.”  But sin,   
   taking   
   opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire.  For   
   apart from the law sin was dead.  I was alive once without the law, but when   
   the   
   commandment came, sin revived and I died.  And the commandment, which was to   
   bring   
   life, I found to bring death.  For sin, taking occasion by the commandment,   
   deceived me, and by it killed me.  Therefore the law is holy, and the   
   commandment   
   holy and just and good."   
   - Paul the Apostle, Romans 7:6-12 Holy Bible, New Testament, NKJV   
      
      
   "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, ...   
   For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the   
   law of   
   sin and death.   
      
   For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by   
   sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He   
   condemned sin in the flesh, that the righteous requirement of the law might be   
   fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the   
   Spirit."   
   - Paul the Apostle, Romans 8:1-4 Holy Bible, New Testament, NKJV   
      
      
   "What then?   
   Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace?   
   Certainly not!"   
      
   "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ   
   Jesus our Lord."   
   - Paul the Apostle, Romans 6:15,23 Holy Bible, New Testament, NKJV
