Instead of 15-20 years of confusion on forums, why not see immediately all of Romans, in a summary regarding the law, and how the law is no longer. The purpose is to no longer be under the school master, as faith came. ( Galatians 3:25.)
The reprobate are left off by God to do those things which are not convenient, unrighteousness, covetousness, envy, debate, pride, inventing evil things, disobedience, covenant breakers, implacable ( not correctable.) they know the judgement of God, that they who do such things are worthy of death.
Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
The Gentiles have not the law, instead they show the work of the law written in their hearts.
The Gentiles ( uncircumcision) keeps the righteousness of the law, to count them circumcised. ( the circumcision of Christ in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh. Colossians 2:11.)
The Gentiles ( uncircumcision) fulfil the law by nature, judge the circumcision, who by the LETTER transgress the law.
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves:
Romans 2:15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;)
Romans 2:26 Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?
Romans 2:27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law?
Now the righteousness of God WITHOUT THE LAW is manifested, the righteousness of God by faith of Jesus Christ, upon all them that believe.
Boasting is excluded, not by the law of works, but by the law of faith. ( the law of Jesus Christ.)
It is one God who justifies the circumcision by faith, and the uncircumcision through faith.
Romans 3:21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;
22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
Romans 3:27 Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.
Romans 3:30 Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.
If they who are of the law are heirs, faith is made void. The law works wrath, where no law is, there is NO TRANSGRESSION.
Romans 4:14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:
15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
The law entered to abound the offence. ( of Adam.) But where sin abounded, ( in the law) grace ( through Christ) much more abounded, sin had reigned unto death, now grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:
21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.
We are buried with Christ into death, that like Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, we also walk in newness of life.
Our old man is crucified, THE BODY OF SIN DESTROYED, to henceforth not serve sin, for he that is dead, is freed from sin. ( WHO SHALL DELIVER ME FROM THE BODY OF THIS DEATH ? Romans 7:24.)
If we are dead with Christ we believe we live with Him, Christ raised from the dead, dies no more, death HAS NO MORE DOMINION OVER HIM.
SIN SHALL NOT HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU, FOR YOU ARE NOT UNDER THE LAW, BUT UNDER GRACE.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.
7 For he that is dead is freed from sin.
8 Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
THE LAW HAS DOMINION OVER A MAN AS LONG AS HE LIVES.
We are BECOME DEAD TO THE LAW, by the body of Christ, to BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO GOD.
WHEN IN THE FLESH, the MOTIONS OF SINS WHICH WERE BY THE LAW, worked in our members to BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO DEATH.
NOW WE ARE DELIVERED FROM THE LAW, THAT HELD US DEAD, to serve in NEWNESS OF SPIRIT, not in the OLDNESS OF THE LETTER.
Romans 7:1 Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?
Romans 7:4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye should be married to another, even to him who is raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit unto God.
Romans 7:5 For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.
Romans 7:6 But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.
We are carnal, SOLD UNDER SIN.
WHO SHALL DELIVER US FROM THE BODY OF THIS DEATH ? ( Our old man is crucified, THE BODY OF SIN DESTROYED, to henceforth not serve sin, for he that is dead, is freed from sin. Romans 6:6-7.)
With the flesh we serve the LAW OF SIN.
Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Romans 7:24 O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
Romans 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
THE LAW WAS WEAK THROUGH THE FLESH.( WHEN IN THE FLESH, the MOTIONS OF SINS WHICH WERE BY THE LAW, worked in our members to BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO DEATH. Romans 7:5.)
God sent His Son to CONDEMN SIN IN THE FLESH, to fulfil the righteousness of the law in us, who WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH.
The CARNAL MIND IS NOT SUBJECT TO THE LAW OF GOD.
BUT WE ARE NOT IN THE FLESH, IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD DWELLS IN US. If Christ is in us, THE BODY IS DEAD BECAUSE OF SIN. ( WHO SHALL DELIVER US FROM THE BODY OF THIS DEATH ? Romans 7:24 Our old man is crucified, THE BODY OF SIN DESTROYED, to henceforth not serve sin, for he that is dead, is freed from sin. Romans 6:6-7.)
Romans 8:3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
