Where it appears
Appears 7 times in the Bible.
- Romans 2:23 You are so proud of knowing the law, but you dishonor God by breaking it.
- Romans 4:15 For the law always brings punishment on those who try to obey it. (The only way to avoid breaking the law is to have no law to break!)
- Romans 5:14 Still, everyone died—from the time of Adam to the time of Moses—even those who did not disobey an explicit commandment of God, as Adam did. Now Adam is a symbol, a representation of Christ, who was yet to come.
- Galatians 3:19 Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.
- 1 Timothy 2:14 And it was not Adam who was deceived by Satan. The woman was deceived, and sin was the result.
- Hebrews 2:2 For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished.
