Gal 2:21, 4:3, 9, Col 2:10-17, Heb 7:18-19, 8:7, 10-13, 10:1-4 | ESV | STEP | I do not nullify the grace of God , for if righteousness were through the law , then Christ died for no purpose .

9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather ^fto be known by God, ^ghow can you turn back again to ^hthe weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more?

Colossians 2:10-17

10 and ⁱyou have been filled in him, who is ^jthe head of all rule and authority. 11 In him also ^kyou were circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, by ^lputting off the body of the flesh, by the circumcision of Christ, 12 ^mhaving been buried with him in baptism, in which ⁿyou were also raised with him through faith in ^othe powerful working of God, ^pwho raised him from the dead. 13 ^qAnd you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God ^rmade alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by ^scanceling ^tthe record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. 15 ^uHe disarmed the rulers and authorities ^{▼▼Probably demonic rulers and authorities} and ^wput them to open shame, by ^xtriumphing over them in him. ^{▼▼Or in it (that is, the cross)}

Let No One Disqualify You

16 Therefore let no one ^zpass judgment on you ^aain questions of food and drink, or with regard to ^aba festival or ^aca new moon or a Sabbath. 17 ^adThese are a shadow of the things to come, but ^aethe substance belongs to Christ.

Hebrews 7:18-19

18 For on the one hand, a former commandment is set aside ^afbecause of its weakness and uselessness 19 (for ^agthe law made nothing perfect); but on the other hand, ^aha better hope is introduced, through which ^aiwe draw near to God.

Hebrews 8:7

7 ^ajFor if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.

Hebrews 8:10-13

10 ^akFor this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, declares the Lord:
I will put my laws into their minds,
and ^alwrite them on their hearts,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor
and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’
for they shall ^amall know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
^anand I will remember their sins no more.”
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And ^aowhat is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 10:1-4

Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

1 For since the law has but ^apa shadow ^aqof the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, ^arit can never, by the same sacrifices that are continually offered every year, make perfect those who draw near. 2 Otherwise, would they not have ceased to be offered, since the worshipers, having once been cleansed, would no longer have any consciousness of sins? 3 But ^asin these sacrifices ^atthere is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For ^auit is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
