NASB | Romans 5:13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 5:13 Sin was [committed] in the world before the Law [was given], but sin is not charged [against anyone] when there is no law [against it]. |
Bible Question: why was there no law during that time, from Adam to Moses? Why did God allow people to live during that period unaccountable to their sins? Why did God wait so long to put a law? Where did those people go at death? I am assuming to hell, these are the ones Jesus went to release after He raised from death? |
Bible Answer: Genesis 3:22-23 Then the Lord God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us. to know good and evil. And now lest he put out his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat and live forever" therefore the Lord God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken. To say that man was not held unaccountable for their actions would be incorrect. God held us accountable for our actions. The Law was yet to be written on stone tablets, but it was already written in our hearts and on our minds. If you continue to read through Chp.4 of Gen. You'll see that God held Cain accountable for the murder of his brother. If there were no law, there wouldn't be a need for such an action. If there were no law, there wouldn't be a need for Cain to lie about the whereabouts of his brother when asked. |
