Sin has death wrapped up in it, for “by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin” Romans 5:12. Without sin, death would not exist, for “the sting of death is sin” 1 Corin 15:56. Why did the apostle then say that “as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse”? Is it because the Law is a curse? No, the apostle himself acknowledges that “the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good” Romans 7:12.
Kung gayon bakit sinasabi ng apostol na "ang lahat na sa mga gawang ayon sa kautusan ay nasa ilalim ng sumpa"? Dahil ba sa ang Kautusan ay isang sumpa? Hindi, sapagkat mismong ang apostol ay kinilala na "ang Kautusan ay banal, at ang utos ay banal, at matuwid, at mabuti" Roma 7:12.
