![]() Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith.įor if that first covenant had been faultless, then no place would have been sought for a second. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.īut now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another-to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. Scripture about the law being atutor. free#So then if, while her husband lives, she marries another man, she will be called an adulteress but if her husband dies, she is free from that law, so that she is no adulteress, though she has married another man. But if the husband dies, she is released from the law of her husband. Or do you not know, brethren (for I speak to those who know the law), that the law has dominion over a man as long as he lives? For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.įor sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.Īnd you, being dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He has made alive together with Him, having forgiven you all trespasses, having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith. Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you could not be freed through the Law of Moses.īut before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed. Christians are No Longer Under the Old Testament Law ![]()
