Now respecting the things which I write unto you, behold, in the presence of God, I lie not.

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

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I should live unto God.

I do not set at nought the grace of God; for if righteousness came by the law, truly Christ hath died in vain.

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or from hearing of the faith?

He therefore who ministereth to you a supply of the Spirit, and powerfully worketh miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of the faith?

For as many as are of the works of the law, are under a curse: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who continueth not in all the things written in the book of the law to do them."

But that by the law no man is justified before God is evident: because "The just by faith shall live."

Now the law is not by faith: but "The man that doeth these things shall live by them."

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one who is hanged on a tree:"

Now this I say, the covenant confirmed of God to Christ, the law, which was given three hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, so as to vacate the promise.

For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more by promise; but to Abraham God gave it freely by promise.

To what end then was the law given? It was given on account of transgressions, until that seed should come to whom the promise was made, being delivered through the ministry of angels into the hand of a mediator.

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? God forbid. For if there had been a law given which was capable of procuring life, verily righteousness would have been by the law.

But before the faith came, we were in ward under the law, shut up together for the faith that should be revealed.

Wherefore the law was our conductor, as of children, to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

but when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son born of a woman, born under the law,

that he might redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

And again, I testify to every man who is circumcised, that he is under an obligation to keep the whole law.

Ye have vacated all expectations from Christ, as many of you as are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.

For the whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

But if ye are under the conduct of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.

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

For even they who are themselves circumcised do not keep the law, but desire you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
