Romans 3:20

And do not enter into judgment with Your slave, For no one living is righteous in Your sight.

For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.

for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no trespass.

Now the Law came in so that the transgression would increase, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! Rather, 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.”

But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, worked out in me coveting of every kind. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

For sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.

Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified.

(for the Law made nothing perfect), and on the other hand there is a bringing in of a better hope, through which we draw near to God.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us.
