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

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.

This power he exercised in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms

And God put all things under Christ’s feet, and he gave him to the church as head over all things.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

even though we were dead in transgressions, made us alive together with Christ – by grace you are saved! –

For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;

So then you are no longer foreigners and noncitizens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of God’s household,

because you have been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone.

I, therefore, the prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live worthily of the calling with which you have been called,

But practicing the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into Christ, who is the head.

Therefore, having laid aside falsehood, each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another.

speaking to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing and making music in your hearts to the Lord,
