(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law. |
(For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. |
For until the Law sin is in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. |
For before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. |
[To be sure] sin was in the world before ever the Law was given, but sin is not charged to men’s account where there is no law [to transgress] |
For until law, sin was in the world, but sin is not put to one’s account, there being no law. |
Sin, you see, was in the world long before the Law, though I suppose, technically speaking, it was not “sin” where there was no law to define it. |
Certainly sin was in the world before the law was given, but it is not charged to men’s account where there is no law. |
