²¹ But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

³¹ But Israel, which followed after the law of righteousness, hath not attained to the law of righteousness.

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

⁵ For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

²¹ I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
