The Law and Sin
7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, (A)I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if (B)the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, (C)seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. (D)For apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10 The very commandment (E)that promised life proved to be death to me. 11 For sin, (F)seizing an opportunity through the commandment, (G)deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So (H)the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.

Sons and Heirs
4 I mean that the heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a slave,[a] though he is the owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father. 3 In the same way we also, when we were children, (A)were enslaved to the elementary principles[b] of the world. 4 But (B)when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, (C)born (D)of woman, born (E)under the law,

21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For (A)if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture (B)imprisoned everything under sin, so that (C)the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given (D)to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, (E)imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, (F)the law was our (G)guardian until Christ came, (H)in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

A New Prophet like Moses
15 (A)“The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen— 16 just as you desired of the Lord your God at Horeb (B)on the day of the assembly, when you said, (C)‘Let me not hear again the voice of the Lord my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ 17 And the Lord said to me, (D)‘They are right in what they have spoken. 18 (E)I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. (F)And I will put my words in his mouth, and (G)he shall speak to them all that I command him. 19 (H)And whoever will (I)not listen to my words that he shall speak in my name, I myself will require it of him.

25 (A)“So I lay prostrate before the Lord for these forty days and forty nights, because the Lord had said he would destroy you. 26 (B)And I prayed to the Lord, ‘O Lord God, do not destroy your people and your heritage, whom you have redeemed through your greatness, whom you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand. 27 Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Do not regard the stubbornness of this people, or their wickedness or their sin, 28 lest the land from which you brought us say, (C)“Because the Lord was not able to bring them into the land that he promised them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.” 29 (D)For they are your people and your heritage, whom you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.’

The Golden Calf
13 (A)“Furthermore, the Lord said to me, ‘I have seen this people, and behold, it is (B)a stubborn people. 14 (C)Let me alone, that I may destroy them and (D)blot out their name from under heaven. And (E)I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.’ 15 (F)So I turned and came down from the mountain, and (G)the mountain was burning with fire. And the two tablets of the covenant were in my two hands. 16 And (H)I looked, and behold, you had sinned against the Lord your God. You had made yourselves a golden[a] calf. (I)You had turned aside quickly from the way that the Lord had commanded you. 17 So I took hold of the two tablets and threw them out of my two hands and broke them before your eyes. 18 Then I (J)lay prostrate before the Lord (K)as before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, (L)in doing what was evil in the sight of the Lord to provoke him to anger. 19 For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the Lord bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. (M)But the Lord listened to me that time also. 20 And the Lord was so angry with Aaron that he was ready to destroy him. And I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.
