Law

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

What then shall we say? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the law had not said, “Do not covet.”

But sin, seizing its opportunity through the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.

So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

And if I do what I do not want to do, I admit that the law is good.

For in my inner being I delight in God’s law.

But I see another law at work in my body, warring against the law of my mind and holding me captive to the law of sin that dwells within me.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I serve the law of God, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

For in Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set you free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

…so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

…because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

…the people of Israel. Theirs is the adoption as sons; theirs the divine glory and the covenants; theirs the giving of the law, the temple worship, and the promises.

…but Israel, who pursued a law of righteousness, has not attained it.

For Christ is the end of the law, to bring righteousness to everyone who believes.

For concerning the righteousness that is by the law, Moses writes: “The man who does these things will live by them.”

Be indebted to no one, except to one another in love. For he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law.

Love does no wrong to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

If any of you has a grievance against another, how dare he go to law before the unrighteous instead of before the saints!

Instead, one brother goes to law against another, and this in front of unbelievers!

Do I say this from a human perspective? Doesn’t the Law say the same thing?

For it is written in the Law of Moses: “Do not muzzle an ox while it is treading out the grain.” Is it about oxen that God is concerned?

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.

To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), to win those under the law.

To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.

To those without the law I became like one without the law (though I am not outside the law of God but am under the law of Christ), to win those without the law.

It is written in the Law: “By strange tongues and foreign lips I will speak to this people, but even then they will not listen to Me, says the Lord.”

Women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says.

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.

…know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.

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

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

I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law, or by hearing with faith?

Does God lavish His Spirit on you and work miracles among you because you practice the law, or because you hear and believe?

All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”

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

The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”

What I mean is this: The law that came 430 years later does not revoke the covenant previously established by God, so as to nullify the promise.

For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on a promise; but God freely granted it to Abraham through a promise.

Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the seed to whom the promise referred. It was administered through angels by a mediator.

Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.

Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.

Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.

Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.

So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

…to redeem those under the law, that we might receive our adoption as sons.

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

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

Again I testify to every man who gets himself circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been severed from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

The entire law is fulfilled in a single decree: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

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

…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 the circumcised do not even keep the law themselves, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

…by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace

…circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

…as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless.

…and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God on the basis of faith.

They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not understand what they are saying or that which they so confidently assert.

Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.

We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers,

But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, arguments, and quarrels about the law, because these things are pointless and worthless.

Now the law commands the sons of Levi who become priests to collect a tenth from the people—that is, from their brothers—though they too are descended from Abraham.

Now if perfection could have been attained through the Levitical priesthood (for on this basis the people received the law), why was there still need for another priest to appear—one in the order of Melchizedek and not in the order of Aaron?

For when the priesthood is changed, the law must be changed as well.

…one who has become a priest not by a law of succession, but by the power of an indestructible life.

…(for the law made nothing perfect), and a better hope is introduced, by which we draw near to God.

For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

For the law appoints as high priests men who are weak; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever.

Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.

For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,

According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.

For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.

In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).

Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom, and continues to do so—not being a forgetful hearer, but an effective doer—he will be blessed in what he does.

If you really fulfill the royal law stated in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Whoever keeps the whole law but stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it.

Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom.

Brothers, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against his brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. And if you judge the law, you are not a practitioner of the law, but a judge of it.
