For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:

But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
