⁴ Christ is the culmination of the law^(A) so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.^(B)

¹⁶ know that a person is not justified by the works of the law,^(A) but by faith in Jesus Christ.^(B) So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in^[a] Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.^(C)

² I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit^(A) by the works of the law,^(B) or by believing what you heard?^(C)

¹³ When you were dead in your sins^(A) and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you^[a] alive^(B) with Christ. He forgave us all our sins,^{(C) 14} having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness,^(D) which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross.^{(E) 15} And having disarmed the powers and authorities,^(F) he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them^(G) by the cross.^[b]

Freedom From Human Rules

¹⁶ Therefore do not let anyone judge you^(H) by what you eat or drink,^(I) or with regard to a religious festival,^(J) a New Moon celebration^(K) or a Sabbath day.^{(L) 17} These are a shadow of the things that were to come;^(M) the reality, however, is found in Christ.
