You who boast in law, do you dishonor God through your transgression of the law?

For circumcision, indeed, profits, if you do the law; but, if you are transgressors of the law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

If, therefore, the uncircumcision keep the ordinances of the law, shall not his uncircumcision he reckoned for circumcision?

And shall not the uncircumcision that is by nature, if it fulfills the law, judge you, with the letter and circumcision, to be a transgressor of the law?

But, if the truth of God, through my lie, abounded unto His glory, why am I also still judged as a sinner?

Now we know that whatsoever the law says, it speaks to those under the law; that every mouth may be stopped, and that the whole world may be under the sentence of God;

because, by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the law is the knowledge of sin.

But now, apart from the law, a righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

Where, then, is the boasting? It was excluded. By what manner of law? Of works? Nay; but by a law of faith.

For we reckon that a man is justified by faith, apart from works of law.

Do we, then, make void the law through faith? It could not be! Yea, we establish the law.

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

For, if those who are of the law are heirs, faith has been made void, and the promise has been brought to nought;

for the law works wrath; but where there is no law, there is no transgression.

For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only 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 reckoned, when there is no law:

And the law entered, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did super-abound;

For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under law, but under grace.

What, then? May we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? It could not be!

Or, are ye ignorant, brethren, (for I am speaking to those who know law), that the law has dominion over the man as long as he lives?

For the married woman has been bound by law to the living husband; but, if the husband dies, she is loosed from the law of the husband.

So, then, if, while the husband is living, 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, though she be joined to another man.

Wherefore, my brethren, ye also were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, that ye might be joined to another??o Him Who was raised from the dead??hat we might bear fruit to God.

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

But now we have been fully discharged 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, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It could not be! But I had not known sin, except through law; for I would not know even coveting, if the law did not say, "You shall not covet;"

but sin, taking occasion through the commandment, wrought in me all manner of coveting; for apart from law sin is dead.

And I was alive apart from the law once; but, when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

So that the law is holy, and the command is holy and righteous and good.

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

But, if what I wish not, this I do, I consent to the law that it is good.

Consequently, I find the law, that, when I wish to do good, evil is present.

or I delight in the law of God after the inward man;

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! Accordingly, therefore, I myself with the mind, indeed, serve the law of God; but, with the flesh, the law of sin.

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

For, what was impossible under law, wherein it was weak through the flesh. God, sending His Own Son in likeness of sinful flesh, and, respecting sin, condemned sin in the flesh;

that the requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither, indeed, can it be;

who, indeed, are Israelites, whose is the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law, and the service, and the promises;

but Israel, following after a law of righteousness, did not attain to such a law.

as it has been written, "Behold, I lay in Zion a Stone of stumbling, and a Rock of offense; and he that believes on Him shall not be put to shame."

for Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one who believes.

For Moses writes that the man who did the righteousness of the law shall live thereby;

Owe no one anything, but to love one another; for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.

Love works no ill to one's neighbor: therefore, love is a fulfillment of the law.

for other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Dare any one of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?

But brother goes to law with brother, and that before unbelievers!

Already, therefore, it is wholly a loss to you, that ye have law-suits one with another! Why not rather suffer wrong? Why not rather be defrauded?

Do I speak these things after the manner of man? Or does not the law also say the same?

For in the law of Moses it has been written, "You shall not muzzle an ox while treading out the grain." Doth God care for the oxen?

And, to the Jews, I became as a Jew, that I might gain Jews; to those under law, as under law (not being myself under law), that I might gain those under law;

to those without law, as without law (not being without law to God, but under law to Christ), that I might gain those without law.

In the law it has been written, "With other tongues, and with lips of others, I will speak to this people; and not even thus will they listen to Me," saith the Lord.

Let the wives keep silence in the assemblies; for it is not permitted them to speak, but let them be in subjection, as also says the law.

The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

On the first day of the sabbaths, let each one of you lay by him, treasuring it up, as he may prosper, that no collections be made, when I come.

The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who is blessed forevermore, knoweth that I lie not.

Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you; for I seek not yours, but you; for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

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

For I through law died to 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 needlessly!

This only do I wish to learn of you: Did ye receive the Spirit by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

Does He, therefore, Who was supplying to you the Spirit, and was working miracles among you, doing it by works of law, or by the hearing of faith?

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

Now that by law no one is justified with God, is evident; because "The righteous one shall live by faith."

Now the law is not of faith; but "He who did them shall live in them."

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; because it has been written, "Cursed is every one who is hung upon a tree";

But this I say: A covenant previously confirmed by God, the law, which came into existence four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate, that it should make the promise of no effect.

For, if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God has freely given it to Abraham through promise.

What, then, is the law? It was added because of the transgressions, until the Seed should come to Whom it had been promised; having been arranged through angels in the hand of a mediator.

Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It could not be! For, if a law had been given, which was able to make alive, truly righteousness would have been by law;

But, before the faith came, we were kept guarded under law, being shut up to the faith about to be revealed.

So that the law has become our tutor 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, born under law,

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

Tell me, ye who are wishing to be under law, do ye not hear the law?

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

Ye were separated from Christ, whoever of you are being justified by law; ye fell out of grace;

for the whole law has been fulfilled in one word, in this: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

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

meekness, continence; against such there is no law.

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

For neither do those themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but they wish you to be circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

having abolished in His flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments expressed in decrees, that He might make the two one new man in Himself, making peace,

circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

as to zeal, persecuting the assembly: as to the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of law, but that which is through faith in Christ??he righteousness which is of God by faith:

Not that I already obtained, or have already been made perfect; but I am pressing on, if I may lay hold of that for which I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

because in Him were all things created, in the heavens, and upon the earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers??ll things have been created through Him, and for Him;

Lie not one to another, having put off the old man with his practices,

And, for this cause, God sendeth them a working of delusion, that they may believe the lie;

wishing to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they confidently affirm.

But we know that the law is good, if one use it lawfully;

knowing this, that law is not enacted for a righteous man, but for lawless and unruly ones, for ungodly and sinful, for unholy and profane, for patricides, and matricides, for man-slayers,

whereunto I was appointed a preacher and an apostle (I speak truth, I lie not), a teacher of gentiles in faith and truth.

Lay hands hastily on no one, neither be partaker of other men's sins. Keep yourself pure.

Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the eternal life, to which you were called, and confessed a good confession before many witnesses.

treasuring up for themselves a good foundation for the future, that they may lay hold on that which is really life.
