Chapter 25 — Part III — On Love (Introduction)
Section 487. Q. If there is in man's heart an inward law, why was the outward given? A. It was given because men obeyed not the inward law, but led carnal and sinful lives, and stifled within themselves the voice of the spiritual law, so that it was necessary to put them in mind of it outwardly through the Commandments. Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions.. Gal. iii. 19.
