Evil » Where evil comes from
But Peter answered and said to him: Explain to us this dark saying. Jesus replied: Are you also yet without understanding? Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth passes into the belly, and is cast out into the sink? read more.
But those things which go out from the mouth, come from the heart; and these defile the man. For from the heart come evil reasonings, murders, adulteries, lewd actions, thefts, false testimonies, impious words. These are the things that defile the man. But to eat with unwashed hands does not defile the man.

And when he had gone into the house, away from the multitude, his disciples asked him about the dark saying. And he said to them: Are you also so void of understanding?

For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the purposes which are evil: adulteries, lewd actions, murders, thefts, schemes for extortion, wicked deeds, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, calumny, haughtiness, impiety. All these evil things come forth from within, and defile the man.

For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am carnal, sold into bondage to sin. For what I do, I know not: for that which I wish to do, this I do not; but that which I hate, this I do. If, then, I do that which I wish not to do, I give assent to the law, that it is good. read more.
Now, then, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells in me.

Therefore, the law is holy, and the commandment, holy and just and good. Has, then, that which is good become death to me? It can not be.

What, then, shall we say? Is the law sin? It can not be. Indeed, I had not known sin, except through law. For I had not known evil desire, unless the law had said: You shall not have any evil desire.

What, then, was the purpose of the law? It was added on account of transgressions, (till the offspring should come, to whom the promise was made,) having been appointed through the service of angels, in the hand of a mediator. Now, a mediator for one is impossible; but God is one. Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It can not be. For if a law had been given which could have given life, surely righteousness would have been by law. read more.
But the scripture has shut up all under sin, that the promise by faith in Christ Jesus may be given to those who believe. But before the faith came, we were kept under law, being shut up to the faith which was to be revealed. So, then, the law was our pedagogue that led us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But since the faith has come, we are no longer under a pedagogue: for you are all the sons of God, by faith in Christ Jesus: for as many of you as have been immersed into Christ, have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bondman nor free man, there is neither male nor female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ s, then you are Abraham's posterity, and heirs according to the promise.

Law » Christ being the end of the law
But their minds were blinded: for till this day, in the reading of the old covenant, the same vail remains not taken away, which vail is removed in Christ. But to this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart: but whenever their heart shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.

There is now, therefore, no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has freed me from the law of sin, and of death.

Know you not, brethren, for I speak to you that are acquainted with law, that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? For the woman that has a husband, is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives: but if her husband die, she is loosed from the law of her husband. So then, if, while her husband lives, she be married to another man, she shall be called an adulteress. But if her husband die, she is free from the law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she be married to another man. read more.
So then, my brethren, you, also, have died to the law, by the body of the Christ, in order that you may be married to another, to him who was raised from the dead that we should bring forth fruit to God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were excited by the law, were active in our members, so as to bring forth fruit to death: but now we are made free from the law, being dead to that by which we were bound, so that we may serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

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

I do not set aside the grace of God: for if righteousness be through law, then Christ has died in vain.

So, also, we, when we were minors, were in bondage under the rudiments of the world. But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, that he might buy off those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption. read more.
