I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”

Now, that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, “the righteous one will live by faith.”

Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? Far from it! For if a law had been given that was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.

For we, through the Spirit, by faith, are waiting for the hope of righteousness.
