It's been a while; I'm having trouble remembering. I think I compiled info from NIV commentary, Life Application commentary, and... man... I remember I had a few resources other than a straight up commentary... I think I took some of the definitions from a couple of Small Group oriented Bible studies made by John Stott and Navigators. Sorry, I'm having trouble remembering.
I was able to dig this up. It's from the intro video. I can't find the info for this particular video. 1. Romans: Life Application Bible Commentary. Tyndale House Publishers, Inc., 1998.

@@RickGrundy what I don't understand is sin is how everything started Adam and Eve had to support insest in order to procreate and continue gods plan insest is a sin but back then it's the only way to procreate starting with just those two
Not a bad perspective. Thanks for the reply, you rock! I've heard a few ways of looking at Adam and Eve's bad choice. One of those thoughts is that they were simply naive children. Regarding the law, though, there was a known law in place that contained just one rule: don't eat the fruit.
Rick Grundy 🤔 it was the serpent and the ground that cursed. And death was the penalty for sin, that is, the second death aka the lake of fire, a metaphor for God’s final judgement.
Rick Grundy 🍏 the command not to eat the fruit is a law, but it was not under a covenant of obedience for protection. All covenants are declared as a covenant in the Bible. The exclusion is god promise to King David to establish his lineage through his son Solomon.
@@chosenskeptic5319 Well done, man. Great thoughts. From my end, I'm having trouble understanding how you exclusively connect a broken law with a covenant. Is that what you're doing? If so, coming to mind is Paul's thoughts about keeping the law of conscience. That's a law that's not based on a covenant, yet it is still a law that can be broken or followed. Actually, we see Paul commending the Gentiles for doing a better job at keeping their law of conscience over the law of the covenant. Are you intending to say that a law can only exist within a covenant? Am I misunderstanding you?
Rick Grundy 🤔 a law can be voluntarily kept, if you love me keep my commandments. But covenants demand obedience for protection. 🤔 sin is the transgression against the law, disobedience to Mosaic Law brings wrath, the second death.
