>>13670320>9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10So I discovered that the very commandment that was meant to bring life actually brought death. 11For sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death.>12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.>13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Certainly not! But in order that sin might be exposed as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.Here he refutes the argument that when there is no law given that we cant transgress the law and cant sin, and thus that it would have been better to never have given the law, pic rel, by stating that the law through the exposing of of the bad in the form of death creates more goodness as a whole.
>14Indeed, when Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law. 15So they show that the work of the law is written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts either accusing or defending them Refuting that those who never received the law wouldnt be able to be judged, and that Jesus would mean damnation for everyone who died before hearing about him, by stating that they still have a concept of doing good and evil according to which they will be judged
