know that it is not through obedience to Law that a man can be declared free from guilt, but only through faith in Jesus Christ. We have therefore believed in Christ Jesus, for the purpose of being declared free from guilt, through faith in Christ and not through obedience to Law. For through obedience to Law no human being shall be declared free from guilt.

Christ has truly made us free: then keep your free condition and let no man put a yoke on you again.

Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

So, brothers, we are the children of no slave woman, but of free woman. For freedom did not Christ set us free;

Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a free woman.

But Jerusalem, which is above, is free: which is the mother of us all.

Nevertheless, what saith the scripture? "Put away the bondwoman and her son. For the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the free woman."

But the child of the slave girl was born in the ordinary course of nature, while the child of the free woman was born to fulfill the promise.

Who gave himself for our sins, so that he might make us free from this present evil world, after the purpose of our God and Father:

And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

That he might make them free who were under the law, and that we might be given the place of sons.

For if the inheritance comes from law, it no longer comes from a promise; but God did give it as a free gift to Abraham by a promise.
