<p>5:13&nbsp;<i>For until the law sin was in the world</i>- This could be Paul&rsquo;s way of countering the objection that his teaching that it was the Law of Moses which brought condemnation (Rom. 4:15) wrongly implied that there could have been no death before the Law.&nbsp;</p><p><i><br /></i><i>But sin is not imputed when there is no law</i>- We do not have to appear at the day of judgment and answer for our sin if we didn&rsquo;t know God&rsquo;s Law, and we broke it in ignorance. Sin is not therefore imputed to those who are not under law, for whom effectively there is no such law.</p>
