who also has made us efficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of [the] letter but of [the] Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit makes alive.

Now if the ministry of death, having been engraved in letters on stones, came to be with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently into the face of Moses because of the glory of his countenance, the [glory which] [was] passing away,

And you shall separate the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves that you go not up into the mountain, nor touch any part of it: whoever touches the mountain shall surely die.

And Moses went down from the mountain to the people and sanctified them, and they washed their clothes.

And it came to pass on the third day, as the morning drew nigh, there were voices and lightnings and a dark cloud on Mount Sinai. The voice of the trumpet sounded loud, and all the people in the camp trembled.

Now Mount Sinai was altogether in smoke, because God had descended upon it in fire; and the smoke went up like the smoke of a furnace, and the people were exceedingly amazed.

And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,

and said to Moses, You speak to us, but let not God speak to us, lest we die.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven upon all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness.

For what [was] impossible [for] the law to do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

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

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and to a whirlwind,

For they could not bear that [which] was commanded: "And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned."

For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

I have brought near My righteousness, and I will not be slow with the salvation that is from Me; I have given salvation in Zion to Israel for glory.

In his days both Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell securely. And this is his name, which the Lord shall call Him, Josedek among the prophets.

For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith."

But now the righteousness of God apart from the law has been revealed, being witnessed to by the Law and the Prophets,

even the righteousness of God, through [the] faithfulness of Jesus Christ, to all and upon all those that believe. For there is no distinction;

And he received the sign of circumcision, a seal of the righteousness of the faith which [he had while] in uncircumcision, so that he should be the father of all those that believe, although uncircumcised, so that righteousness should also be imputed to them,

But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the offense of one man many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to the many.

For if by the offense of the one man death reigned through the one [man], much more those receiving the abundance of the grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.)

For through the disobedience of the one man the many were constituted sinners, so also through the obedience of the One many shall be constituted righteous.

so that just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For they, being ignorant of the righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

For Moses writes about the righteousness which [is] of the law, "That the man who does those things shall live by them."

or, " 'Who shall descend into the abyss?' " (that is, to bring up Christ from the dead).

that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and you believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved.

But from Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption;

You have become estranged from Christ, you who are justified by law; you have fallen from grace.

For we by the Spirit eagerly await [for] the hope of righteousness by faith.

and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through [the] faith of Christ, the righteousness [which is] from God by faith;

Simon Peter, a bondservant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have obtained like precious faith with us by [the] righteousness of our God and Savior Jesus Christ:

For even that which has been glorified has not been glorified in this respect, because of the surpassing glory.

For if that which passes away [was] glorious, then that which remains is much more glorious.

There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from [another] star in glory.

And Moses indeed was faithful in all His house as a servant, for a testimony of the things which would be spoken,

but Christ as a Son over His own house, whose house we are if we hold fast the confidence and the boast of hope firm until [the] end.
