¹⁹ Has not Moses given you the law?^(A) Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”^(B)

¹⁷ For the law was given through Moses;^(A) grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.^(B)

²⁶ I prayed to the Lord and said, “Sovereign Lord, do not destroy your people,^(A) your own inheritance^(B) that you redeemed^(C) by your great power and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.^{(D) 27} Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness^(E) of this people, their wickedness and their sin. ²⁸ Otherwise, the country^(F) from which you brought us will say, ‘Because the Lord was not able to take them into the land he had promised them, and because he hated them,^(G) he brought them out to put them to death in the wilderness.’^{(H) 29} But they are your people,^(I) your inheritance^(J) that you brought out by your great power and your outstretched arm.^(K)”
