(Now in what I am writing to you, I assure you before God that I do not lie.)

yet who know that a man is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by works of the law, because by works of the law will no flesh be justified.

For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died for nothing."

This is the only thing I want to find out from you: did you receive the Spirit by the works of the Law, or by hearing with faith?

Does he who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you do so by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to do them."

Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, "The righteous man shall live by faith."

But the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, "He who does them shall live by them."

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for usfor it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree"

What I mean is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.

For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

Is the law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given which could impart life, then righteousness would indeed have come by the law.

Now before faith came, we were bound under the law, kept under restraint until faith should be revealed.

So the law was our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

But when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?

I testify again to every man who receives circumcision, that he is under obligation to keep the whole Law.

You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen away from grace.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

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

For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
