You who boast in Law, do you dishonor God through breaking the Law?

For circumcision truly profits if you keep the Law, but if you are a transgressor of the Law, circumcision becomes uncircumcision.

If then the uncircumcision keeps the ordinances of the Law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision?

And the uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfills the Law, shall it not judge you, who through letter and circumcision become transgressors of the Law?

For if in my lie the truth has more abounded to His glory why am I still judged as a sinner?

But we know that whatever things the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law; so that every mouth may be stopped and all the world may be under judgment before God,

because by the works of the Law none of all flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law is the knowledge of sin.

But now a righteousness of God has been revealed apart from Law, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets;

Then where is the boasting? It is excluded. Through what law? Of works? No, but through the law of faith.

Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the works of the Law.

Do we then make the Law void through faith? Let it not be! But we establish the Law.

For the promise that he should be the heir of the world was not to Abraham or to his seed through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith.

For if they of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is made of no effect;

because the Law works out wrath, for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Therefore it is of faith so that it might be according to grace; for the promise to be made sure to all the seed, not only to that which is of the Law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

But the Law entered so that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound,

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.

What then? Shall we sin because we are not under Law, but under grace? Let it not be!

Or are you ignorant, brothers; for I speak to those who know the Law; that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives?

For the married woman was bound by law to the living husband. But if the husband is dead, she is set free from the law of her husband.

So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no adulteress by becoming another man's wife.

So, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law by the body of Christ so that you should be married to Another, even to Him raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.

For when we were in the flesh, the passions of sin worked in our members through the law to bring forth fruit to death.

But now we having been set free from the Law, having died to that in which we were held, so that we serve in newness of spirit and not in oldness of the letter.

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Let it not be said! But I did not know sin except through the law. For also I did not know lust except the law said, You shall not lust.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of lust. For apart from law sin was dead.

For I was alive without the law once. But when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

So indeed the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin.

If then I do that which I do not desire, I consent to the law that it is good.

I find then a law: when I will to do the right, evil is present with me.

For I delight in the Law of God according to the inward man;

but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

But the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

so that the righteousness of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

because the carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject to the Law of God, neither indeed can it be.

Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God who justifies.

I tell the truth in Christ, I do not lie, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit,

who are Israelites; to whom belong the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and the promises;

But Israel, who followed after a law of righteousness did not arrive at a law of righteousness.

Why? Because it was not of faith, but as it were by the works of the Law. For they stumbled at that Stumbling-stone;

as it is written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a Stumbling-stone and a Rock-of-offense, and everyone believing on Him shall not be put to shame."

For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness for everyone who believes.

For Moses writes of the righteousness which is of the Law, "The man who does those things shall live by them."

Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves another has fulfilled the Law.

Love works no ill to its neighbor, therefore love is the fulfilling of the Law.

For any other foundation can no one lay than the one being laid, who is Jesus Christ.

Do any of you dare, when you have a matter against another, to go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?

But brother goes to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband lives, but if her husband sleeps in death, she is at liberty to be remarried to whom she will, only in the Lord.

Do I say these things according to man? Or does not the Law say the same also?

For it is written in the Law of Moses, "You shall not muzzle an ox threshing grain." Does God take care for oxen?

And to the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain the Jews. To those who are under the Law, I became as under the Law, so that I might gain those who are under the Law.

To those who are outside Law, I became as outside Law (not being outside law to God, but under the Law to Christ), so that I might gain those who are outside Law.

In the Law it is written, "By other tongues and other lips I will speak to this people, and even so they will not hear Me, says the Lord."

Let your women be silent in the churches; for it is not permitted to them to speak, but to be in subjection, as the Law also says.

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is blessed forever, knows that I do not lie.

In Damascus the governor under Aretas the king guarded the city of the Damascenes, desiring to lay hold of me.

Behold, a third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not burden you, for I do not seek your things, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.

And what I write to you, behold, before God, I do not lie.

knowing that a man is not justified by works of the Law, but through faith in Jesus Christ; even we believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ, and not by works of the Law. For all flesh will not be justified by works of law.

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

I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died without cause.

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

Then He supplying the Spirit to you and working powerful works in you, is it by works of the law, or by hearing of faith?

For as many as are out of works of the Law, these are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the Book of the Law, to do them."

But that no one is justified by the Law in the sight of God is clear, for, "The just shall live by faith."

But the Law is not of faith; but, "The man who does these things shall live in them."

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone having been hanged on a tree");

And I say this, A covenant having been ratified by God in Christ, the Law (coming into being four hundred and thirty years after) does not annul the promise, so as to abolish it.

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

Why then the Law? It was added because of transgressions, until the Seed should come to those to whom it had been promised, being ordained through angels in the Mediator's hand.

Is the Law then against the promises of God? Let it not be said! For if a law had been given which could have given life, indeed righteousness would have been out of Law.

But before faith came, we were kept under Law, having been shut up to the faith about to be revealed.

So that the Law has become a trainer of us until Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, coming into being out of a woman, having come under Law,

that He might redeem those under Law, so that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Tell me, those desiring to be under Law, do you not hear the Law?

For I testify again to every man that is circumcised, that he is a debtor to do all the Law,

you who are justified by Law are deprived of all effect from Christ; you fell from grace.

For all the Law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

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

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

Bear one another's burdens, and so you will fulfill the Law of Christ.

For they themselves, having been circumcised, do not even keep the Law, but they desire you to be circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.

having abolished in His flesh the enmity (the Law of commandments contained in ordinances) so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, making peace between them;

I was circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews. As regards the Law, I was a Pharisee;

concerning zeal, persecuting the church; regarding the righteousness in the Law, blameless.

and be found in Him; not having my own righteousness, which is of the Law, but through the faith of Christ, the righteousness of God by faith,

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect, but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which I also was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.

Do not lie to one another, having put off the old man with his deeds

And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie,

desiring to be teachers of the law, neither understanding what they say nor that which they affirm.

But we know that the law is good if a man uses it lawfully,

knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous one, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,

To this I am ordained a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie), a teacher of the nations, in faith and truth.
