1Or do you not know, brethren (for I am speaking to those who know the law), that the law has jurisdiction over a person as long as he lives?Which law contains "You shall not covet?"
2For the married woman is bound by law to her husband while he is living; but if her husband dies, she is released from the law concerning the husband.
3So then, if while her husband is living she is joined to another man, she shall be called an adulteress; but if her husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is not an adulteress though she is joined to another man.
4Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God.
5For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.
6But now we have been released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter. 7What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

I would say the ten commandments, which is the foundation of the Mosaic Law/covenant....which was only given to the Hebrew nation.
What do you say k4c?

What aspect of the Law have we been released from? This is the question you should be asking yourself.4. you also were made to die to the Law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead...
6. we have been released from the Law... I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, "YOU SHALL NOT COVET.

For the Jew sin was magnified throught law...for the gentile who never had law, law never mattered. Why? Because just like all men...they where in Adam.Paul was being convicted of sin through the power of the Law to convict of sin. The consequence of sin is death but the strength of sin is the Law.
1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
Why is the streangth of sin the Law? Because the Law points out sin and makes it alive,
Hold on now...the law had provisions for individuals who broke the law....the individual did not receive the curse. According to the covenant charter and Deut. The curse was for a nation as a whole and not individuals. You are misusing scripture. Read Deut. 27-30which brings death also known as, the curse. This whole process of sin, Law, conviction and death is called, the law of sin and death.
The gentile has never been under law...the Jew today is not under the law...both are in Adam or in Christ.Take away the power of the Law to convict of sin by taking away the sin, not the Law. We have been released from the Law's clenching power, which is given to it by our sin.
Romans 7:7-9 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet.'' But sin (not, but law), taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead. I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.
Now if a person wants to use the law as a gauge thats fine...as long as he does not try and live by law. Gentiles never where under it. In context Paul is talking about the Hebrew nation who was given Torah.Once the Law points out our sin we become convicted and condemned but once we receive forgivness through the cleansing power of Christ's blood our sin is washed away thus disarming the condemning power of the Law.
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Paul's sin of covetousness was pointed out by the Law, which brought death because of that sin. But now, through Christ, Paul has been released from the power of the Law to convict of that sin because he has been cleansed by the blood of Christ.
No one is saying the opposite....we are saying no one is under jurisdiction of the law....today believers are following after and convicted of the Spirit.But this does not mean the sin of covetousness is no longer a sin for God's people nor does it mean the Law has lost all it's power to convict of future active sin in our lives.
To prove this point, let us go to the Scriptures to see if covetousness is still a sin. I'll just quote a few of the many verses.
Ephesians 5:3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints;
1 Timothy 3:3 a church leader must not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but gentle, not quarrelsome, not covetous;
Hebrews 13:5 Let your conduct be without covetousness...
Who is saying Jews did not have salvation???By the way, salvation was given to the Jews. I guess we should all just go home. Understand this, there is a difference between revelation and exclusiveness.

Paul was being convicted of sin through the power of the Law to convict of sin.
As I've confirmed previously, we agree that the problem is with the people and not the law and that the letters engraved on stones represent the ministry that brings death.Romans 7:7-9 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law. For I would not have known covetousness unless the law had said, "You shall not covet.'' But sin (not, but law), taking opportunity by the commandment, produced in me all manner of evil desire. For apart from the law sin was dead.

We have access to the promises made to Abraham. That access has nothing to do with the covenant with Israelites that includes the ten commandments. Israel has not lost its place in the heart of God.By the way, salvation was given to the Jews. I guess we should all just go home. Understand this, there is a difference between revelation and exclusiveness.
None...never been under it.
For the Jew sin was magnified throught law...for the gentile who never had law, law never mattered. Why? Because just like all men...they where in Adam.
Again...for the Jew who was under it. According to the law I can slap you upside your head all day and not break it.
Hold on now...the law had provisions for individuals who broke the law....the individual did not receive the curse. According to the covenant charter and Deut. The curse was for a nation as a whole and not individuals. You are misusing scripture. Read Deut. 27-30

Paul was not the only Jew...all of the Hebrews under the old covenant was just a guilty.
No one is saying the opposite....we are saying no one is under jurisdiction of the law....today believers are following after and convicted of the Spirit.

Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death (10 commandments). Rom8:1,2
But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones (10 commandments), was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away:
8How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?
9For if the ministration of condemnation (10 commandments) be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory.
10For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth.
11For if that which is done away (10 commandments) was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.
12Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
13And not as Moses, which put a veil over his face, that the children of Israel could not steadfastly look to the end of that which is abolished (10 commandments): 2Cor3:7-13
I hope you guys see that the Holy Spirit (new testament) replaced the 10 commandments (old testament)... "abolished" "done away." You actually have 2 options: hold on to the "ministry of death engraved on stone" or be free in the Holy Spirit.

Im sorry but I cannot find anywhere in the bible that the Holy Spirit convicts us against a set of laws.
@EastCoastRemnant,
There is no question as to the meaning of sin. But when you talk about the law you will have to differentiate between the law ministry of death engraved on stone, that was given to the ancient Israelites at Sinai and the law of the Spirit that replaced the law engraved on stone. These two a different identities. The latter made the former obsolete.
For a Christian to adhere to the ministry of death engraved on stone is a blatant denial of the law of the Spirit that is written in the heart. Denial of the law of the Spirit is the true definition of sin the New Covenant.
If you wish to remain in the ancient covenant that was declared obsolete (Heb8:13) you will be judged by it. I chose to be under the law of the Spirit and not be judged at all.
Choose you this day!

I’m sorry but I cannot find anywhere in the bible that the Holy Spirit convicts us against a set of laws. Contrary to your trend of thought or you doctrinal beliefs here is what the bible teaches:
“But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” Gal5:18
“For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.”
Rom6:13-15
To prove your point could you please point out in the bible where it says that the Holy Spirit convicts of us of sin based on a set of written laws?
Thanks

The law on stone was given because of transgression,
Chapter and versewhich means the law on stone is only a manifestation of that which always was.
But it was not imputed according to Romans 5 because much of it was not manifested as sin. But people still died....Do you know why k4cSin, as it is defined in stone, was sin before Sinai.
No they where convicted through conscience, not as defined on stone...Abraham slept with other females who where not Sarah....was he ever convicted?Both Jew and Gentile committed sin, as defined by the Law on stone, before Sinai and were found guilty.
OkThe wages of sin is death whether jew or gentile.
Prove to me gentiles where under the law from the bible.You have always been under the law, you just don't know it until someone points it out to you.
Show chapter and verse please...you make stuff up I see. If you are not making this stuff up...show it to me according to the Torah.If the Law don't apply to you then you don't need Jesus.
I agree. However, some folks assume this means a transgression of law. However, this can't be true because the law had not been added. God existed before the law was added and therefore sin was revealed as sin even before the law was added.The law on stone was given because of transgression,
Sin, as it is defined in stone, was sin before Sinai.
Both Jew and Gentile committed sin, as defined by the Law on stone, before Sinai and were found guilty.
If the Law don't apply to you then you don't need Jesus.
Yes.
