(Romans 5:13, 20) What is Paul saying in these verses? Can there be sin without law? In what sense does the "trespass increase" (5:20) when the law is present?
The first verse, Romans 5:13, this just makes sense to me. How can there be sin if there isnt a law identifying what you have done to go against GOD's will. However, I am struggling to wrap my brain around the meaning of the "trespass increase" portion of the question.
Wow, I just got it. The law helps identify all of the different ways that we sin against GOD, which in turn would cause trespass to increase.
