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

Tell me, you who want to be under the law, do you not understand the law?

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

Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.

to redeem those who were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights.

You who are trying to be declared righteous by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!

gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

Carry one another’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

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.”

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

The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law or by believing what you heard?

Does God then give you the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law or by your believing what you heard?

Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous one will live by faith.

But the law is not based on faith, but the one who does the works of the law will live by them.

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.

Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.

And I testify again to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

For the whole law can be summed up in a single commandment, namely, “You must love your neighbor as yourself.”

yet we know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by the faithfulness of Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
