The Law

so that the law became our child-conductor--to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

For Christ is an end of law for righteousness to every one who is believing,

for whoever the whole law shall keep, and shall stumble in one <FI>point<Fi> , he hath become guilty of all;

What, then, shall we say? the law <FI>is<Fi> sin? let it not be! but the sin I did not know except through law, for also the covetousness I had not known if the law had not said:

so that the law, indeed, <FI>is<Fi> holy, and the command holy, and righteous, and good.

having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

wherefore by works of law shall no flesh be declared righteous before Him, for through law is a knowledge of sin.

Law then do we make useless through the faith? let it not be! yea, we do establish law.

for sin over you shall not have lordship, for ye are not under law, but under grace.

for the law doth work wrath; for where law is not, neither <FI>is<Fi> transgression.

therefore do we reckon a man to be declared righteous by faith, apart from works of law.

Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,'

for this is the love of God, that His commands we may keep, and His commands are not burdensome;

ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

the law, then, <FI>is<Fi> against the promises of God? --let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

To no one owe anything, except to love one another; for he who is loving the other--law he hath fulfilled,

for the wages of the sin <FI>is<Fi> death, and the gift of God <FI>is<Fi> life age-during in Christ Jesus our Lord.

knowing that Christ, having been raised up out of the dead, doth no more die, death over him hath no more lordship;

for not the hearers of the law <FI>are<Fi> righteous before God, but the doers of the law shall be declared righteous: --

and from all things from which ye were not able in the law of Moses to be declared righteous, in this one every one who is believing is declared righteous;
