they only heard it said, "He who once persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy."

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.

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me; and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

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?

Therefore, be sure that it is those who are of faith who are sons of Abraham.

And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, "In you will all the nations be blessed."

So then those who are of faith are blessed with Abraham, the man of faith.

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."

in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

But the Scripture has bound everyone under sin, so that that what was promised by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

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 now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

For you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.

For through the Spirit, by faith, we wait for the hope of righteousness.

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision is of any avail, but faith working through love.

So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.
