Some people do not know God’s law when they sin. They will not be judged by the law when they die. Others do know God’s law when they sin. They will be judged by the law.

凡没有律法犯了罪的，也必不按律法灭亡；凡在律法以下犯了罪的，也必按律法受审判。（

凡在律法之外犯了罪的，将在律法之外灭亡；凡在律法之内犯了罪的，将按律法受审判。

凡在律法之外犯了罪的，将在律法之外灭亡；凡在律法之内犯了罪的，将按律法受审判。

没有上帝律法的人若犯罪，虽然不按律法受审判，仍要灭亡；有上帝律法的人若犯罪，必按律法受审判。

凡不在律法之下犯了罪的，将不按律法而灭亡；凡在律法之下犯了罪的，将按律法受审判。

凡是在律法之外犯过罪的，也将要在律法之外灭亡；凡是在律法之下犯过罪的，将要照着律法受审判。

凡沒有律法犯了罪的，也必不按律法滅亡；凡在律法以下犯了罪的，也必按律法受審判。（

凡在律法之外犯了罪的，將在律法之外滅亡；凡在律法之內犯了罪的，將按律法受審判。

凡不在律法之下犯了罪的，將不按律法而滅亡；凡在律法之下犯了罪的，將按律法受審判。

凡在律法以外犯了罪的、也必在律法以外去滅亡；凡在律法以內犯了罪的、就要憑着律法來受定罪。

凡是在律法之外犯過罪的，也將要在律法之外滅亡；凡是在律法之下犯過罪的，將要照著律法受審判。

凡犯罪於法外者、沉淪於法外；犯罪於法內者、伏辜於法內。

All who sin apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

For all who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

When the Gentiles sin, they will be destroyed, even though they never had God’s written law. And the Jews, who do have God’s law, will be judged by that law when they fail to obey it.

For all who sin without the law will also perish without the law, and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law.

For all who have sinned without the Law will also perish without the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law;

For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law

For as many as have sinned without the law shall also perish without the law: and as many as have sinned under the law shall be judged by the law;

All those who sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all those who sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law;

For all who have sinned apart from the law will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

For as many as have sinned without the law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

All who depend on obeying the law are under a curse. It is written,“ May everyone who doesn’t continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law be under God’s curse.”( Deuteronomy 27:26)

Here is what we know. No one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus. This is so we can be made right with God by believing in Christ. We are not made right by obeying the law. That’s because no one can be made right with God by obeying the law.We are seeking to be made right with God through Christ. As we do, what if we find that we who are Jews are also sinners? Does that mean that Christ causes us to sin? Certainly not!Suppose I build again what I had destroyed. Then I would really be breaking the law.By the law, I died as far as the law is concerned. I died so that I might live for God.

To those who don’t have the law I became like one who doesn’t have the law. I did this even though I am not free from God’s law. I am under Christ’s law. Now I can win those who don’t have the law.

I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Sodom than for that town.“ How terrible it will be for you, Chorazin! How terrible for you, Bethsaida! Suppose the miracles done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon. They would have turned away from their sins long ago. They would have put on the rough clothing people wear when they’re sad. They would have sat down in ashes.On judgment day it will be easier for Tyre and Sidon than for you.And what about you, Capernaum? Will you be lifted up to the heavens? No! You will go down to the place of the dead.

“ Here is the sin your sister Sodom committed. She and her daughters were proud. They ate too much. They were not concerned about others. They did not help those who were poor and in need.They were very proud. They did many things that were evil in my eyes. I hated those things. So I got rid of Sodom and her daughters, just as you have seen.

They know that God’s commands are right. They know that those who do evil things should die. But they continue to do those very things. They also approve of others who do them.

Gentiles do not have the law. Sometimes they just naturally do what the law requires. They are a law for themselves. This is true even though they don’t have the law.They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts. The way their minds judge them proves this fact. Sometimes their thoughts find them guilty. At other times their thoughts find them not guilty.This will happen on the day God appoints Jesus Christ to judge people’s secret thoughts. That’s part of my good news.

What should we say then? That the law is sinful? Not at all! Yet I wouldn’t have known what sin was unless the law had told me. The law says,“ Do not want what belongs to other people.”( Exodus 20:17; Deuteronomy 5:21) If the law hadn’t said that, I would not have known what it was like to want what belongs to others.But the commandment gave sin an opportunity. Sin caused me to want all kinds of things that belong to others. A person can’t sin by breaking a law if that law doesn’t exist.Before I knew about the law, I was alive. But then the commandment came. Sin came to life, and I died.I found that the commandment that was supposed to bring life actually brought death.When the commandment gave sin the opportunity, sin tricked me. It used the commandment to put me to death.

God shows his anger from heaven. It is against all the godless and evil things people do. They are so evil that they say no to the truth.The truth about God is plain to them. God has made it plain.Ever since the world was created it has been possible to see the qualities of God that are not seen. I’m talking about his eternal power and about the fact that he is God. Those things can be seen in what he has made. So people have no excuse for what they do.They knew God. But they didn’t honor him as God. They didn’t thank him. Their thinking became worthless. Their foolish hearts became dark.

But I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Tyre and Sidon than for you.

“ Suppose a servant knows the master’s wishes. But the servant doesn’t get ready and doesn’t do what the master wants. Then that servant will receive a heavy beating.But suppose the servant does not know his master’s wishes. And suppose the servant does things for which he should be punished. He will receive a lighter beating. Much will be required of everyone who has been given much. Even more will be asked of the person who is supposed to take care of much.

But I tell you this. On judgment day it will be easier for Sodom than for you.”

The Law was written in letters on stone. Even though it was a way of serving God, it led to death. But even that way of serving God came with glory. The glory lasted for only a short time. Even so, the people of Israel couldn’t look at Moses’ face very long.Since all this is true, won’t the work of the Holy Spirit be even more glorious?The law that condemns people to death had glory. How much more glory does the work of the Spirit have! His work makes people right with God.

I saw the dead, great and small, standing in front of the throne. Books were opened. Then another book was opened. It was the book of life. The dead were judged by what they had done. The things they had done were written in the books.The sea gave up the dead that were in it. And Death and Hell gave up their dead. Each person was judged by what they had done.Then Death and Hell were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death.Anyone whose name was not written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

The law brings God’s anger. Where there is no law, the law can’t be broken.

“ May anyone who doesn’t honor the words of this law by obeying them be under the Lord’ s curse.” Then all the people will say,“ Amen!”

Jesus answered,“ You were given power from heaven. If you weren’t, you would have no power over me. So the one who handed me over to you is guilty of a greater sin.”

What the law says, it says to those who are ruled by the law. Its purpose is to shut every mouth and make the whole world accountable to God.So no one will be considered right with God by obeying the law. Instead, the law makes us more aware of our sin.

In the past, God didn’t judge people for what they didn’t know. But now he commands all people everywhere to turn away from their sins.He has set a day when he will judge the world fairly. He has appointed a man to be its judge. God has proved this to everyone by raising that man from the dead.”

The written law was made weak by the power of sin. But God did what the written law could not do. He made his Son to be like those who live under the power of sin. God sent him to be an offering for sin. Jesus suffered God’s judgment against our sin.

But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin. It does so in order that what was promised might be given to those who believe. The promise comes through faith in Jesus Christ.

Suppose you keep the whole law but trip over just one part of it. Then you are guilty of breaking all of it.
