The Law brings Wrath NKJV
Rms 4:15 - ... the law brings about wrath; ...
II Cor 3:6,9 - ... for the letter (Law - OC) kills, ... For if the ministry of condemnation had glory, ...
Rms 7:9 - I was alive once without the law (not knowing the right), but when the commandment came, sin revived (was revealed) and I died. And the commandment, which was to bring life (though proper guidance), I found to bring death (condemnation). When I am confronted by an expanded right, as Jesus did on the "Sermon on the Mount", I find I don't have the ability to comply, in the flesh (simply by trying). "for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find" (Rms 7:18). The law as truth can only tell me what I should do, it can't give the spiritual power to do it. The power only comes when we switch covenants.
