"Born of a virgin." How can you rightly accuse a virgin of fornication?
What is the purpose of the law?

Jesus came to live the sinless life, following God's law, to be the perfect sacrifice for the punishment of all sin. The verse said the law was in effect until it was accomplished. The last words uttered by Jesus on the cross were "It is finished." or "It is accomplished". So the "good news" or "gospel" is that Jesus' work on the cross paid the penalty for ALL.
