For through the law I died to the law so that I may live to God.

I do not set aside God's grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!

For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.

Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the descendant to whom the promise had been made. It was administered through angels by an intermediary.

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

So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son, then you are also an heir through God.

But one, the son by the slave woman, was born by natural descent, while the other, the son by the free woman, was born through the promise.

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

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision carries any weight -- the only thing that matters is faith working through love.

For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.

But may I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
