¹⁷ For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

²¹ But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

¹⁶ Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,

²⁰ Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.

¹⁵ What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

³ For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

²¹ I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

¹⁶ Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, 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 shall no flesh be justified.

¹¹ But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
