knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believe into Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ and not by the works of the Law; for by the works of the Law no flesh shall be justified.

Also He spoke this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and despised others:

The Pharisee stood and prayed thus to himself, God, I thank You that I am not like other men; extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.

And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to Heaven, but beat his breast, saying, God, be merciful to me a sinner!

because the Law brings about wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

I was alive once apart from the Law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died.

For sin, taking occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

Has then that which is good become death to me? Let it not be! But sin, that it might appear to be sin, was producing death in me through what is good, so that sin through the commandment might become exceedingly sinful.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor indeed can be.

Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:

and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside from the way which I am commanding you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.

Jehovah will not consent to forgive him; for then the anger of Jehovah and His jealousy shall smoke against that man, and every curse that is written in this book shall lie down upon him, and Jehovah shall blot out his name from under the heavens.

Therefore I will defile the rulers of the sanctuary, and will give Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

Then He will also say to those on the left hand, Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire having been prepared for the devil and his angels:

Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the Words of this Law. And all the people shall say, Amen!

and say to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,

Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine; the soul who sins shall die.

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.

Therefore by the deeds of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for through the Law is the full true knowledge of sin.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the Law as transgressors.

For He who said, Do not commit adultery, also said, Do not murder. Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the Law.
