Romans 10:3
3For, being ignorant of athe righteousness of God, and seeking to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness.Romans 11:6
6 bBut if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.Galatians 2:16
16yet we know that ca person is not justified ▼▼Or counted righteous (three times in verse 16); also verse 17
by works of the law ebut through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, fbecause by works of the law no one will be justified. Galatians 3:21
21Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For gif a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.Galatians 5:2-4
2Look: I, Paul, say to you that hif you accept circumcision, iChrist will be of no advantage to you. 3I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that jhe is obligated to keep the whole law. 4You are ksevered from Christ, lyou who would be justified ▼▼Or counted righteous
by the law; nyou have fallen away from grace. Hebrews 7:11
