For they changed the truth of God into a lie, and they worshiped and served the created thing more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For as many as sinned without Law will also perish without Law. And as many as have sinned within Law shall be judged through Law.

For it is not the hearers of the Law who are just before God, but the doers of the Law will be justified.

For when the nations, who do not have the Law, do by nature the things of the Law, these, not having the Law, are a law unto themselves;

who show the work of the Law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and the thoughts between one another accusing or even excusing one another,

Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest in the Law, and boast in God;

and know His will and approve the things excelling, being instructed out of the Law;

an instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, who have the form of knowledge and of the truth in the Law.

You who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through breaking the Law?

For circumcision truly profits if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision become transgressors of the Law?

For if in my lie the truth has more abounded to His glory why am I still judged as a sinner?

But we know that whatever things the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be under judgment before God,

because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law is the knowledge of sin.

But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;

Then where is the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the Law.

Do we then make the Law void through faith? Let it not be! But we establish the Law.

For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For if they of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is made of no effect;

because the Law works out wrath, for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Therefore it is of faith so that it might be according to grace; for the promise to be made sure to all the seed, not only to that which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

But the Law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law, but under grace? Let it not be!

Or are you ignorant, brothers; for I speak to those who know the Law; that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

For the married woman was bound by law to the living husband. But if the husband is dead, she is set free from the law of her husband.

So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress by becoming another man's wife.

So, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law by the body of Christ so that you should be married to Another, even to Him raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.

For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin worked in our members through the law to bring forth fruit to death.

But now we having been set free from the Law, having died to that in which we were held, so that we serve in newness of spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Let it not be said! But I did not know sin except through the law. For also I did not know lust except the law said, You shall not lust.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of lust. For apart from law sin was dead.

For I was alive without the law once. But when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

So indeed the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

If then I do that which I do not desire, I consent to the law that it is good.

I find then a law: when I will to do the right, evil is present with me.

For I delight in the Law of God according to the inward man;

but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

But the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be.

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God who justifies.

I tell the truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

who are Israelites; to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises;

But Israel, who followed after a law of righteousness did not arrive at a law of righteousness.

Why? Because it was not of faith, but as it were by the works of the Law. For they stumbled at that Stumbling-stone;

as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a Stumbling-stone and a Rock-of-offense, and everyone believing on Him shall not be put to shame."

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes.

For Moses writes of the righteousness which is of the Law, "The man who does those things shall live by them."

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves another has fulfilled the Law.

Love works no ill to its neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.
