(for He who worked effectively in Peter for the apostleship to the circumcised also worked effectively in me toward the Gentiles),

knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

This only I want to learn from you: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Therefore He who supplies the Spirit to you and works miracles among you, does He do it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?—

The Law Brings a Curse

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”

For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness,

But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
