Sets of Scriptures come to mind.
Weighing which ones I should cite.
". . . Wherefore, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body of Christ; that ye 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, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death. But now we are 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 letter. What shall we say then?
Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet.
But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin
was dead.
For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
And the commandment, which
was ordained to life, I found
to be unto death.
For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew
me.
Wherefore the law
is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.
For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that
it is good.
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but
how to perform that which is good I find not.
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. . . ." -- Romans 7:4-25; Romans 8:1-2. . . .
James 2:10, ". . . For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one
point, he is guilty of all. . . ."
1 John 3:4, ". . . Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. . . ."
Romans 4:15, ". . . Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is,
there is no transgression. . . ."
Romans 10:4 , ". . . For Christ
is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. . . ."
Galatians 2:21, ". . . I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness
come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. . . ."
This is just the "icing on the cake" so to speak.
1 Timothy 1:9-10, ". . . Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,
For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine; . . ."
2 Corinthians 5:21, ". . . For he hath made him
to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. . . ."
