  • Gal 2:16 : 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by the faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.
  • Rom 10:4 : 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.

  • Heb 7:18-19 : 18 For there is indeed a setting aside of the former commandment because of its weakness and unprofitableness. 19 For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a better hope did; by which we draw near to God.
  • Heb 9:8-9 : 8 The Holy Spirit indicating this, that the way into the Holiest of All was not yet revealed while the first tabernacle was still standing: 9 Which was a symbol for the present time, in which both gifts and sacrifices are offered that cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience; 10 Concerned only with foods and drinks, various washings, and fleshly ordinances imposed until the time of reformation. 11 But Christ came as a high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation; 12 Not by the blood of goats and calves, but by His own blood He entered once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. 13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh, 14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the mediator of the new covenant, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, those who are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator.
  • Heb 10:1-9 : 1 For the law, having a shadow of the good things to come and not the actual form of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offer year by year continually make those who come perfect. 2 For then would they not have ceased to be offered? Because the worshipers, once cleansed, would have had no more consciousness of sins. 3 But in those sacrifices there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins. 5 Therefore, when he comes into the world, he says, Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you have prepared for me: 6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin you had no pleasure. 7 Then I said, Behold, I have come (in the volume of the book it is written of me) to do your will, O God. 8 Previously saying, Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin you did not desire, nor had pleasure in them (which are offered according to the law), 9 Then he said, Behold, I have come to do your will, O God. He takes away the first that he may establish the second. 10 By that will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest stands daily ministering and offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God; 13 From that time onward waiting till his enemies are made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

  • Acts 13:38-39 : 38 Let it be known to you therefore, men and brethren, that through this man is preached to you the forgiveness of sins: 39 And by him all who believe are justified from all things, from which you could not be justified by the law of Moses.
  • Rom 3:20-22 : 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the law and the prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe.

Indeed, I would not have known sin except through the law: for I would not have known lust unless the law had said, 'You shall not covet.' 8 But sin, taking opportunity by the commandment, worked in me all kinds of covetousness. For without the law, sin was dead. 9 For I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
  • Rom 7:24-25 : 24 O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? 25 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.
