And The Whole World - Romans 3:19-20

Romans 3:19-20 ESV 

Now we know that whatever the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and the whole world may be held accountable to God. For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.

In Genesis there is a Garden that has in it a tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The fruit of that tree is forbidden. To eat from that tree results in the sin of disobedience. Adam ate the fruit. 

Many years later the knowledge of good and evil is again placed before a son of God. Israel receives the word of God, not in a garden, but in the wilderness of the earth. This time it is the law through Moses. Again the choice blessing or curses 

Through the law comes the knowledge of sin, as did the eating of the forbidden fruit. At the last day the wicked will drink from the cup of wrath.
