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

Does this mean that by this faith we do away with the Law? No, not at all; instead, we uphold the Law.

Do not conform yourselves to the standards of this world, but let God transform you inwardly by a complete change of your mind. Then you will be able to know the will of God---what is good and is pleasing to him and is perfect.

No other nation, no matter how great, has laws so just as those that I have taught you today.

"Now, people of Israel, listen to what the LORD your God demands of you: Worship the LORD and do all that he commands. Love him, serve him with all your heart,

At Mount Sinai you came down from heaven; you spoke to your people and gave them good laws and sound teachings.

The law of the LORD is perfect; it gives new strength. The commands of the LORD are trustworthy, giving wisdom to those who lack it.

Reverence for the LORD is good; it will continue forever. The judgments of the LORD are just; they are always fair.

They give knowledge to me, your servant; I am rewarded for obeying them.

Keep your promise to me, your servant--- the promise you make to those who obey you.

Your commandments are all trustworthy; people persecute me with lies---help me!

I love your commands more than gold, more than the finest gold.

You are righteous, LORD, and your laws are just.

How certain your promise is! How I love it!

I will sing about your law, because your commands are just.

We know that the Law is good if it is used as it should be used.
