God “will repay each person according to what they have done.”
-
A person is not a Jew who is one only outwardly, nor is circumcision merely outward and physical.
-
No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.
-
For we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law.
-
Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.

Released From the Law, Bound to Christ
Do you not know, brothers and sisters—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives?
-
Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”
-
Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.
-
One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.
-
One person considers one day more sacred than another; another considers every day alike. Each of them should be fully convinced in their own mind.
-
I am convinced, being fully persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself. But if anyone regards something as unclean, then for that person it is unclean.
-
Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All food is clean, but it is wrong for a person to eat anything that causes someone else to stumble.
