KJV ORIGINAL
(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE
Here's the thing — sin was already happening in the world way before God gave us the law through Moses. But when there's no official rule written down, people aren't held accountable for breaking it.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
You can't break a rule that doesn't exist yet, but wrong was still wrong before it was officially called out.
