Titus 3:3-7
English Standard Version
3 For (A)we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when (B)the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, (C)not because of works done by us in righteousness, but (D)according to his own mercy, by (E)the washing of regeneration and (F)renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he (G)poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that (H)being justified by his grace we might become (I)heirs (J)according to the hope of eternal life.

Galatians 3:19-25
English Standard Version
19 Why then the law? (A)It was added because of transgressions, (B)until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was (C)put in place through angels (D)by an intermediary. 20 Now (E)an intermediary implies more than one, but (F)God is one.
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For (G)if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture (H)imprisoned everything under sin, so that (I)the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given (J)to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, (K)imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, (L)the law was our (M)guardian until Christ came, (N)in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

19 Now we know that whatever (A)the law says it speaks to those who are under the law, (B)so that every mouth may be stopped, and (C)the whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For (D)by works of the law no human being[a] will be justified in his sight, since (E)through the law comes knowledge of sin.
