To the Law and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.

Now we know that whatever the Law says, it says to those who are under the Law, that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

For if those who are of the Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise has been annulled,

Therefore it is of faith that it might be according to grace, so that the promise might be sure to all the seed, not only to those who are of the Law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all

For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the Law, The man who does those things shall live by them.

Yet the Law is not of faith; but, The man who does them shall live in them.

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree),

Is the Law then against the promises of God? Let it not be. For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been out of the Law.

But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those believing.
