(Now in what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.)

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

God forbid. And if I build again the same things which I demolished, I shew myself a transgressor: for I through the law am dead to the law,

I do not frustate the grace of God: for if righteousness be by the law, then Christ died in vain.

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

He therefore that imparteth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doth he it by the works of the law, or by the doctrine of faith?

For as many as are of the works of the law, are under the curse; for it is written, Cursed be every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.

And that by the law no one is justified before God is evident; for it is written "The just shall live by faith:"

now the law is not of faith, but saith, "The man that doth them, shall live in them."

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, having been made a curse for us: for it is written, "Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:"

This then I say, that the law, which was given four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul the covenant, which was so long before confirmed by God unto Christ, to make void the promise.

For if the inheritance be from the law, it is no more from the promise: whereas God gave it to Abraham by promise.

What then availeth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come, to whom the promise was made; and it was delivered by angels in the hand of a mediator.

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? not at all: for if a law had been given, which could have confered life, certainly righteousness would have been by the law.

But before faith came, we were kept shut up under the law, till the faith appeared which was to be revealed.

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

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

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

Tell me, you that are so desirous to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

And I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to the whole law.

Christ is become nothing to you, whosoever of you are seeking to be justified by the law: ye are fallen from the grace of the gospel.

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

But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

gentleness, goodness, fidelity, meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law.

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

For they, who are circumcised, do not themselves keep the law: but they would have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
