Romans 3:19-20
3:19 Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.
3:20 For no one is declared righteous before him by the works of the law, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Romans 10:5
10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The one who does these things will live by them.”
Psalms 40:12
40:12 For innumerable dangers surround me.
My sins overtake me
so I am unable to see;
they outnumber the hairs of my head
so my strength fails me.
Galatians 3:10
3:10 For all who
rely on doing the works of the law are under a curse, because it is written, “
Cursed is everyone who does not keep on doing everything written in the book of the law.”
James 2:10-11
2:10 For the one who obeys the whole law but fails
in one point has become guilty of all of it.
2:11 For he who said, “
Do not commit adultery,”
also said, “
Do not murder.”
Now if you do not commit adultery but do commit murder, you have become a violator of the law.
