Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.

For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.

I do not make the grace of God of no effect: because if righteousness is through the law, then Christ was put to death for nothing.

Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

He who gives you the Spirit, and does works of power among you, is it by the works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law.

Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.

And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them.

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:

Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect.

Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.

What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.

Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.

But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

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

Say, you whose desire it is to be under the law, do you not give ear to the law?

Yes, I give witness again to every man who undergoes circumcision, that he will have to keep all the law.

You are cut off from Christ, you who would have righteousness by the law; you are turned away from grace.

For all the law is made complete in one word, even in this, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself.

But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Gentle behaviour, control over desires: against such there is no law.

Take on yourselves one another's troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.

Because even those who undergo circumcision do not themselves keep the law; but they would have you undergo circumcision, so that they may have glory in your flesh.
