You who boast in the law dishonor God by transgressing the law!

Do we then nullify ¹  the law through faith? Absolutely not! Instead ²  we uphold the law.

For the law brings wrath, because where there is no law there is no transgression ¹  either.

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? ¹ 

To those free from the law I became like one free from the law (though I am not free from God’s law but under the law of Christ) to gain those free from the law.

“Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” ¹ 

They will be divided, ¹  father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.”

For all who have sinned apart from the law ¹  will also perish apart from the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.

For whenever the Gentiles, ¹  who do not have the law, do by nature ²  the things required by the law, ³  these who do not have the law are a law to themselves.

To the Jews I became like a Jew to gain the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law) ¹  to gain those under the law.

But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.

Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? ¹  Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. ² 

For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

Hasn’t Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps ¹  the law! Why do you want ²  to kill me?”

The Jewish leaders ¹  replied, ²  “We have a law, ³  and according to our law he ought to die, because he claimed to be the Son of God!” ⁴ 

For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous before God, but those who do the law will be declared righteous. ¹ 

For circumcision ¹  has its value if you practice the law, but ²  if you break the law, ³  your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

And will not the physically uncircumcised man ¹  who keeps the law judge you who, despite ²  the written code ³  and circumcision, transgress the law?

For no one is declared righteous before him ¹  by the works of the law, ²  for through the law comes ³  the knowledge of sin.
