I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness {come} by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

For Christ {is} the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.

To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law.

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

What shall we say then? {Is} the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet. {lust: or, concupiscence}

How do ye say, We {are} wise, and the law of the LORD {is} with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he {it}; the pen of the scribes {is} in vain. {in vain made...: or, the false pen of the scribes worketh for falsehood}

And this I say, {that} the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

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

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed {the righteousness} of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer {it to be so} now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he suffered him.

And honour not his father or his mother, {he shall be free}. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law {is} within my heart. {within...: Heb. in the midst of my bowels}

{It is} time for {thee}, LORD, to work: {for} they have made void thy law.

But this {shall be} the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:

The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make {it} honourable. {it: or, him}

For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.

{Whereof} the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

Wherefore the law {is} holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition. {reject: or, frustrate}

Because the carnal mind {is} enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. {the carnal...: Gr. the minding of the flesh}

The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make {it} honourable. {it: or, him}

And it is easier for heaven and earth to pass, than one tittle of the law to fail.

God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.

{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.

For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:

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

Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God. {castest...: Heb. makest void} {prayer: or, speech}

{It is} time for {thee}, LORD, to work: {for} they have made void thy law.

Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, {with} the statutes and judgments.

For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before for the weakness and unprofitableness thereof.

They stand fast for ever and ever, {and are} done in truth and uprightness. {stand...: Heb. are established}

And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of them that seek their lives: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.

Therefore the law is slacked, and judgment doth never go forth: for the wicked doth compass about the righteous; therefore wrong judgment proceedeth. {wrong: or, wrested}

And honour not his father or his mother, {he shall be free}. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?

And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.

Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make {them} the members of an harlot? God forbid.
