Or do you not know that as many of us as were immersed into Christ Jesus were immersed into His death?

For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ on behalf of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is for them to be saved.

Behold, you are called a Jew, and rest on the Law, and make your boast in God,

and know His will, and approve the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the Law,

And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the Laws of your God; and teach those who do not know them.

For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

Do I say these things only as a man? Or does not the Law say the same also?

Tell me, you who desire to be under the Law, do you not hear the Law?

But now we have been loosed from the Law, having died to that in which we were held, so that we should serve in the newness of spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.

For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under Law but under grace.
