CHAPTER 9

25 Wherefore, he has given a ^alaw; and where there is ^bno ^claw given there is no ^dpunishment; and where there is no punishment there is no condemnation; and where there is no condemnation the mercies of the Holy One of Israel have claim upon them, because of the atonement; for they are delivered by the power of him.

Footnotes

25a	TG God, Law of.
b	Rom. 4: 15. 15 Because the law worketh wrath: for where no ^alaw is, there is no ^btransgression. Rom. 5: 13. 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but ^asin is not imputed when there is no ^blaw. 2 Ne. 2: 13. 13 And if ye shall say there is ^ano law, ye shall also say there is no sin. If ye shall say there is no sin, ye shall also say there is no righteousness. And if there be no righteousness there be no happiness. And if there be no righteousness nor happiness there be no punishment nor misery. And if these things are not ^bthere is no God. And if there is no God we are not, neither the earth; for there could have been no creation of things, neither to act nor to be acted upon; wherefore, all things must have vanished away.
c	John 15: 22 (22-24) 22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had ^asin: but now they have no ^bcloke for their sin. Acts 17: 30. 30 And the times of this ^aignorance God ^bwinked at; but now ^ccommandeth all men every where to ^drepent: Rom. 5: 13. 13 (For until the law sin was in the world: but ^asin is not imputed when there is no ^blaw. James 4: 17. 17 Therefore to him that ^aknoweth to do good, and ^bdoeth it not, to him it is ^csin. Alma 42: 17 (12-24) 17 Now, how could a man repent except he should ^asin? How could he sin if there was no ^blaw? How could there be a law save there was a punishment? TG Accountability.
d	TG Punishment.
