Micah 7:18-19 | Where is another God like you, who pardons the guilt of the remnant, overlooking the sins of his special people?

What do the 10 rules are covered in the law, or 10 commandments? [Not sure, check out Exodus 20:2-12].
Romans 3:19-20 | Obviously, the law applies to those to whom it was given, for its purpose is to keep people from having excuses, and to show that the entire world is guilty before God.
