“(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.”
To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone's account where there is no law. Before the law, sin existed—not as transgression of explicit command but as violation of whatever moral order existed. Sin without law cannot be charged as transgression. Yet death—the consequence of sin—reigned even before Sinai.
