To destroy the law

Yet it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for an iota of the Law to lapse.

Now Moses has commanded us in the Law to stone such creatures; but what do you say?"

They also brought forward false witnesses to say, "This fellow is never done talking against this holy Place and the Law!

crying, "This fellow incites men to worship God contrary to the Law."

shouting, "To the rescue, men of Israel! Here is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against the People and the Law and this Place! And he has actually brought Greeks inside the temple and defiled this holy Place!"

Then 'by this faith' we 'cancel the Law'? Not for one moment! We uphold the Law.

Now Christ is an end to law, so as to let every believer have righteousness.

My point is this: the Law which arose four hundred and thirty years later does not repeal a will previously ratified by God, so as to cancel the Promise.
