Wherefore by works of law no flesh shall be justified before him; for by law is knowledge of sin.

what reason then is there for boasting? it is excluded. what, by the ceremonial law? no: but by the law of faith.

Do we then by means of this faith abolish the Law? No, indeed; we give the Law a firmer footing.

For the law works wrath: for where is no law, no transgression.

For a married woman is bound by law to her husband while he lives, but if he dies, the marriage law no longer applies to her.

Accordingly, she will be designated as an adulteress if she unites herself to another man while her husband is alive. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law [regarding marriage], so that she is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

But now the Law no longer applies to us; we have died to what once controlled us, so that we can now serve in the new Spirit, not under the old letter.
