- Christ is the culmination of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.
- And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.
- For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
- If you love me, keep my commands.
- What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”
- The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
- Observe what the Lord your God requires: Walk in obedience to him, and keep his decrees and commands, his laws and regulations, as written in the Law of Moses. Do this so that you may prosper in all you do and wherever you go.
- Do not judge, or you too will be judged.
- The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
- He declared to you his covenant, the Ten Commandments, which he commanded you to follow and then wrote them on two stone tablets.
- Great peace have those who love your law,
and nothing can make them stumble. - Love does no harm to a neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.
- You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
- Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold.
- The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
- Therefore, my friends, I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. Through him everyone who believes is set free from every sin, a justification you were not able to obtain under the law of Moses.
- If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love.
- Be sure to keep the commands of the Lord your God and the stipulations and decrees he has given you.
- I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches. - We have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.
- Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
- Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
- The law of the Lord is perfect,
refreshing the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple. - There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?
- The wise in heart accept commands,
but a chattering fool comes to ruin.
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.Be on your guard; stand firm in the faith; be courageous; be strong.
