Rom 3:19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.
Notice that Paul here connects guilt to being under the law.
what does He mean what things the law saith?
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
The law points out sin and thus makes everyone guilty why?
Rom 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
So here again Paul clearly connects under the law with sinning. Those who sin are under the law and are guilty before God.
Next place in Romans where Paul talks about being under the law.
Rom 6:14 For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.
Rom 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.
This time Paul talks about those who are not under the law, before Jesus came all were under the law. but now Grace has come we are no longer under the law but under grace.
Notice that being under Grace means sin no longer has dominion over you and shall we sin? God forbid.
Rom 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?
notice sin = death Sin is breaking the law not obeying it. but the opposite is "obedience"
So in the first case Paul puts all under the law because all have sinned. In this second case Paul shows that those who are under Grace do not sin but obey.
So under the law = sinners
Under Grace = obedience.
