Because the law works wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.
All Commentaries on Romans 4:15 Go To Romans 4
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
For the law worketh wrath, not of itself, nor by the intention of the lawgiver, but in as much as it is the occasion of greater punishments, when persons transgress it knowingly. (Witham)
The law abstracting from faith and grace, worketh wrath occasionally, by being an occasion of many transgressions, which provoke God's wrath. (Challoner)
