Thanks be ¹  to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, ²  I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but ³  with my flesh I serve ⁴  the law of sin.

For all who ¹  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.” ² 

In ¹  everything, treat others as you would want them ²  to treat you, ³  for this fulfills ⁴  the law and the prophets.

Then ¹  an expert in the law ²  came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” ³ 

The disciples asked him, ¹  “Why then do the experts in the law ²  say that Elijah must come first?”

In ¹  the same way even the chief priests – together with the experts in the law ²  and elders ³  – were mocking him: ⁴ 

Now some of the experts in the law ¹  were sitting there, turning these things over in their minds: ² 

So ¹  the Pharisees ²  said to him, “Look, why are they doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?”

Now ¹  the Pharisees ²  and some of the experts in the law ³  who came from Jerusalem ⁴  gathered around him.

Then ¹  they asked him, ²  “Why do the experts in the law ³  say that Elijah must come first?”

But some of the Pharisees ¹  said, “Why are you ²  doing what is against the law ³  on the Sabbath?”

One of the experts in religious law ¹  answered him, “Teacher, when you say these things you insult ²  us too.”

But ¹  the Pharisees ²  and the experts in the law ³  were complaining, ⁴  “This man welcomes ⁵  sinners and eats with them.”

In the law Moses commanded us to stone to death ¹  such women. ²  What then do you say?”

Now this happened ¹  to fulfill the word that is written in their law, ‘They hated me without reason.’ ² 

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law ¹  and boast of your relationship to God ² 

Therefore if the uncircumcised man obeys ¹  the righteous requirements of the law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

For we consider that a person ¹  is declared righteous by faith apart from the works of the law. ² 

Now the law came in ¹  so that the transgression ²  may increase, but where sin increased, grace multiplied all the more,

For sin will have no mastery over you, because you are not under law but under grace.
