I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

just as Abraham “believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.”

Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.
