- We who are Jews by birth and not sinful Gentiles know that a person is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.
- Praise the Lord.
Blessed are those who fear the Lord,
who find great delight in his commands. - He answered, ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
- But now apart from the law the righteousness of God has been made known, to which the Law and the Prophets testify. This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference between Jew and Gentile.
- Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is the faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commandments.
- Keep my commands and follow them. I am the Lord.
- 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.
- I am the Lord your God; follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Keep my Sabbaths holy, that they may be a sign between us. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God.
- And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
- So again I ask, does God give you his Spirit and work miracles among you by the works of the law, or by your believing what you heard?
- Do not add to what I command you and do not subtract from it, but keep the commands of the Lord your God that I give you.
- 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.
- You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
- If anyone sins and does what is forbidden in any of the Lord’s commands, even though they do not know it, they are guilty and will be held responsible.
- Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
- Yes, Lord, walking in the way of your laws,
we wait for you;
your name and renown
are the desire of our hearts. - All your words are true;
all your righteous laws are eternal. - Your statutes are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my heart. - We have sinned and done wrong. We have been wicked and have rebelled; we have turned away from your commands and laws.
- 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 way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,
but it is the ruin of those who do evil. - I rejoice in following your statutes
as one rejoices in great riches. - And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my 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.
I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have preserved my life.For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word.Next verse!With image
