Romans 3:31

31 Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.

Galatians 3:15

The Law and the Promise

15 ^aTo give a human example, brothers: ^{▼▼Or brothers and sisters} ^ceven with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.

Galatians 3:17

17 This is what I mean: the law, which came ^d430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as ^eto make the promise void.

Hebrews 7:11-12

Jesus Compared to Melchizedek

11 ^fNow if perfection had been attainable through the Levitical priesthood (for under it the people received the law), what further need would there have been for another priest to arise after the order of Melchizedek, rather than one named after the order of Aaron? 12 For when there is a change in the priesthood, there is necessarily a change in the law as well.

Hebrews 8:7-13

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

8 For he finds fault with them when he says: ^{▼▼Some manuscripts For finding fault with it he says to them}

ⁱ“Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,
when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah,
9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers
on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.
For they did not continue in my covenant,
and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
10 ^jFor 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 ^kwrite 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 ^lall know me,
from the least of them to the greatest.
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities,
^mand I will remember their sins no more.”
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And ⁿwhat is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

Hebrews 10:1-9

Christ’s Sacrifice Once for All

1 For since the law has but ^oa shadow ^pof the good things to come instead of the true form of these realities, ^qit 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 ^rin these sacrifices ^sthere is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For ^tit is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.

5 Consequently, ^uwhen Christ ^{▼▼Greek he} came into the world, he said,

^w“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in ^xsacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, ^y“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second.
