Matthew 5:17
17Jesus Fulfills the Law and the Prophets“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I didn't come to destroy them, but to fulfill them.Rom 3:31; 10:4; Gal 3:24Acts 13:39
39and that everyone who believes in him is justified and freed from everything that kept you from being justified by the law of Moses.Isa 53:11; Rom 3:28; 8:3; Heb 7:19Romans 10:4
4For Christ is the culmination ▼▼Or end
of the law as far as righteousness is concerned for everyone who believes.Matt 5:17; Gal 3:24 Galatians 2:16
16yet we know that a person is not justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. ▼▼Or by faith in Jesus Christ
We, too, have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by the faith of Christ ▼▼Or by faith in Christ
and not by the works of the law, for no human being ▼▼Lit. no flesh
will be justified by the works of the law.Ps 143:2; Acts 13:38-39; Rom 1:17; 8:3; Gal 3:11, 24; Heb 7:18-19 Colossians 2:17
17These are a shadow of the things to come, but the reality ▼▼Or substance
belongs to Christ.Heb 8:5; 9:9; 10:1 Hebrews 9:9-10
9This is an illustration of the present time, indicating that the gifts and sacrifices being offered could not make the conscience of the worshiper perfect,Gal 3:21; Heb 7:18-19 10since they deal only with food, drink, and various washings, which are required for the body until the time when things would be set right.Lev 11:2; Num 19:7; Eph 2:15; Col 2:16, 20; Heb 7:16
