Sin and the Prison of the Law

STILL further: We have seen that men are bound in prison because of sin. Said Paul, "The law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold under sin." Rom. 7:14. Now "sin is the transgression of the law" (1 John 3:4), and therefore it is the transgressed law that shuts men up in prison. David said, "I will walk at liberty; for I seek thy precepts." Ps. 119:45. But when he turned aside from the commandments he was at once bound as a criminal.
