The Message of Salvation to All

⁵ For ^(A)Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that ^(B)the person who does the commandments shall live by them.

^5 (A)You shall therefore keep my statutes and my rules; ^(B)if a person does them, he shall live by them: I am the Lord.

^29 (A)And you warned them in order to turn them back to your law. Yet ^(B)they acted presumptuously and did not obey your commandments, but sinned against your rules, ^(C)which if a person does them, he shall live by them, ^(D)and they turned a stubborn shoulder ^(E)and stiffened their neck and would not obey.

^21 (A)But the children ^(B)rebelled against me. ^(C)They did not walk in my statutes and were not careful to obey my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; they profaned my Sabbaths.

^(D)“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness.

^13 (A)But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. ^(B)They did not walk in my statutes but rejected my rules, by which, if a person does them, he shall live; ^(C)and my Sabbaths they greatly profaned.

^(D)“Then I said I would pour out my wrath upon them in the wilderness, to make a full end of them.

^11 (A)I gave them my statutes and made known to them my rules, ^(B)by which, if a person does them, he shall live.

¹² But the law is not of faith, rather ^(A)“The one who does them shall live by them.”

²⁷ And he answered, ^(A)“You shall 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 ^(B)your neighbor as yourself.” ²⁸ And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; ^(C)do this, and you will live.”

¹⁰ The very commandment ^(A)that promised life proved to be death to me.
