Psalms 40:12

12 For evils have ^aencompassed me
beyond number;
my ^biniquities have overtaken me,
and I cannot ^csee;
they are ^dmore than the hairs of my head;
my heart ^efails me.

Romans 3:19-20

19 Now we know that whatever ^fthe law says it speaks to those who are under the law, ^gso that every mouth may be stopped, and ^hthe whole world may be held accountable to God. 20 For ⁱby works of the law no human being ^{▼▼Greek flesh} will be justified in his sight, since ^kthrough the law comes knowledge of sin.

Romans 10:5

The Message of Salvation to All

5 For ^lMoses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that ^mthe person who does the commandments shall live by them.

Galatians 3:10

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

10 For all who rely on works of the law are ⁿunder a curse; for it is written, ^o“Cursed be everyone who does not ^pabide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.”

James 2:10-11

10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point ^qhas become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, ^r“Do not commit adultery,” also said, ^s“Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
