  • Rom 8:3-4 : 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, to condemn sin in the flesh. 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
  • Heb 9:7-9 : 7 But into the second the high priest went alone once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself and for the errors of the people: 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?
  • Rom 7:1-4 : 1 Do you not know, brothers, (for I speak to those who know the law,) that the law has dominion over a person as long as he lives? 2 For the woman who has a husband is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if the husband is dead, she is released from the law of her husband. 3 So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she will be called an adulteress: but if her husband is dead, she is free from that law; so that she is not an adulteress, though she is married to another man. 4 Therefore, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ; that you may be married to another, even to Him who is raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God.

It is excluded. By what law? Of works? No, but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law. 29 Or is He the God of the Jews only? Is He not also the God of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also, 30 since there is one God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not: on the contrary, we establish the law.

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;
