charge,” and is translated “imputed” in Rom. 5:13, of sin as not being “imputed when
there is no law.” This principle is there applied to the fact that between Adam’s
transgression and the giving of the Law at Sinai, sin, though it was in the world, did not
partake of the character of transgression; for there was no law. The law of conscience
existed, but that is not in view in the passage, which deals with the fact of external
commandments given by God. In Philem. 18 the verb is rendered “put (that) to (mine)
account.” See
