For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, {it is} because {there is} no light in them. {no...: Heb. no morning}

{Is} the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. {guilty...: or, subject to the judgment of God}

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.

For if they which are of the law {be} heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect:

But go ye and learn what {that} meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made {them} at the beginning made them male and female,

But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him;

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? {there is} none good but one, {that is}, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.

To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, {it is} because {there is} no light in them. {no...: Heb. no morning}

Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and therein was found written, that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever; {they...: Heb. there was read} {audience: Heb. ears}

And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?

{Is it} not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? {cast...: or, afflicted}

Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.
