13 for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
13 for till law sin was in the world: and sin is not reckoned when there is not law;
13 (for until law sin was in [the] world; but sin is not put to account when there is no law;
13 For until the law, sin was in the world; but sin is not charged when there is no law.
13 Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.
Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.
If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. And Cain talked with Abel his brother: and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him. And the LORD said unto Cain, Where is Abel thy brother? And he said, I know not: Am I my brother's keeper? And he said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood crieth unto me from the ground. And now art thou cursed from the earth, which hath opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand;
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. And it repented the LORD that he had made man on the earth, and it grieved him at his heart.

And the LORD smelled a sweet savor; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.
But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.
And the LORD said, Because the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grievous;
Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father.
Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also.
Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
