For what

Wherefore, by works of law, no flesh shall be justified in his sight; for by law is the knowledge of sin.

For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were excited by the law, were active in our members, so as to bring forth fruit to death:

and by him, every one that believes is justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.

For the law, having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never, with the same sacrifices, which they offer year by year continually, make a perfect expiation for those who come to them:

For sin

for he has made him, who knew no sin, a sin-offering for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

Christ has bought us off from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us: (for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangs on a tree:)

General references

For we conclude that a man is justified by faith, without deeds of law.
