law

Thou that makest thy boast of the Law, through breaking the Law dishonourest thou God?

For Circumcision verily profiteth if thou keepe the Law: but if thou be a breaker of the Law, thy Circumcision is made vncircumcision.

Therefore, if the vncircumcision keepe the righteousnesse of the Law, shall not his vncircumcision be counted for Circumcision?

And shall not vncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfill the Law, iudge thee, who by the letter, and Circumcision, doest transgresse the Law?

Now we know that what things soeuer the Law saith, it saith to them who are vnder the Law: that euery mouth may bee stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

1611 marginal noteOr, subiect to the iudgement of God.

Therefore by the deedes of the Law, there shall no flesh be iustified in his sight: for by the Law is the knowledge of sinne.

But nowe the righteousnesse of God without the Lawe is manifested, being witnessed by the Lawe and the Prophets.

Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what Law? Of works? Nay: but by the Law of faith.

Therefore wee conclude, that a man is iustified by faith, without the deeds of the Law.

Doe we then make void the lawe through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the Law.
