that is the general conclusion but
it is not the correct one.
Beginning at Romans Z, the
apostle is showing, to recent con-
verts to Christianity the differ
ence between the law and the
gospel, in the following words,
Know We not, brethren, (fOr |
speak to them that know the law
how that the law hath dominion
over man as long as he liveth?
For the woman which hath an
husband is bound by the law to
her husband as long as he liveth:
but if the husband be dead she Is
loosed from the law of her nus
band, so then, if while her hus-
band liveth, she. be married to
another man, she shall be called
an adulteress; but il her husband
be dead, she is free from that
law, so that she is no adulteress,
though she be married to another
man. Wherefore, by brethren, We
also are become dead to law, by
the body of Christ, that We should
be married to another, even to
Him who is raised from the dead,
that we should bring forth fruit
unto God. For when we were in
the flesh (under the law the
motions of sins, which were by
the law, did work in our NOM
bers to bring forth fruit unto
death, but now are we 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 let
ter"
In verse IA he proceeds to show
how Il man was held captive to
sin, when under the law, and
he places himself, as it were, I'M
der the law. in order to describe
| the effect it used to have upon
him. For we know that the law
is spiritual, but | am carnal (un-
der the law sold under sin, fol
that which | do, (under the law)
allow not, for what | would
that do | not; but what | hate,
that do" In verse "a, he says

der The law who shall deliver me
from the body of this DEATH
Then the apostle tells them who
shall deliver them from under the
law and says it is "JcsuS Christ
our Lord" And now that Christ
has been accepted by the con,
verts, says Tin Rom. SLIP
There is therefore now (for they
are freed from the law no con.
dcmnation OF them which arc in
Christ Jesus who walk not after
the flesh but after the spirit fol
the law of the spirit of life in
Christ Jesus hath made me free

In another place he says, "Ye
that are dead to sin, how can you
live any longer therein. Awake
to righteousness and sin not, fol
some have not the knowledge OF
God, speak this to your shame

need not for we are freed from
the law of sin and death, for "the
