knowing that a man is not justified by works of the law but by the faith of Jesus Christ, we also have believed in Jesus Christ, that we may be justified by faith and not by works of the law, because by works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

But if seeking to be justified by Christ we are found to be ourselves also sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? By no means.

I am crucified with Christ; and I no longer live myself, but Christ lives in me; and the present life which I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

for as many of you as are baptized in Christ, have put on Christ.

And if you are of Christ, then are you Abraham's children and heirs according to the promise.

Bear one another's burdens, and so perform the law of Christ.
