law and grace

¹⁴For sin should not have dominion over you. For you are not under the law, but under grace.

⁴For the end of the law, Christ, is unto justice for all who believe.

⁷What should we say next? Is the law sin? Let it not be so! But I do not know sin, except through the law. For example, I would not have known about coveting, unless the law said: “You shall not covet.”

³¹Are we then destroying the law through faith? Let it not be so! Instead, we are making the law stand.

¹⁷For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

⁶But now we have been released from the law of death, by which we were being held, so that now we may serve with a renewed spirit, and not in the old way, by the letter.

¹²And so, the law itself is indeed holy, and the commandment is holy and just and good.

¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

⁸For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God.

¹⁰Now whoever has observed the whole law, yet who offends in one matter, has become guilty of all.

¹⁰For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it has been written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things that have been written in the book of the Law, so as to do them.”

⁴And so, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law, through the body of Christ, so that you may be another one who has risen from the dead, in order that we may bear fruit for God.

¹⁹But we know that whatever the law speaks, it speaks to those who are in the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the entire world may be subject to God.
