P. 98
Other Scriptures for previous lesson:
Rom 10:4 (RSV) "For Christ is the end of the law, that every one who has faith may be justified."
Gal 3:24 (RSV) "So that the law was our custodian until Christ came, that we might be justified by
faith."
Gal 5:18 (RSV) "But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law."
Gal 5:4 (RSV) "You are severed from Christ, you who would be justified by the law; you have fallen
away from grace."
Gal 5:18 (RSV) "But if you are led by the Spirit you are not under the law."
Rom 6:14 (RSV) "For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under
grace."
Rom 7:4-8 (RSV) “Likewise, my brethren, you have died to the law through the body of Christ, so
that you may belong to another, to him who has been raised from the dead in order that we may bear
fruit for God. 5While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at
work in our members to bear fruit for death. 6But now we are discharged from the law, dead to that
which held us captive, so that we serve not under the old written code but in the new life of the Spirit.
7What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet, if it had not been for the law, I
should not have known sin. I should not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said, "You
shall not covet." 8But sin, finding opportunity in the commandment, wrought in me all kinds of
covetousness. Apart from the law sin lies dead."
Gal 3:19 (RSV) "Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the offspring should
come to whom the promise had been made; and it was ordained by angels through an intermediary."
Gal 3:21 (RSV) "Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been
given which could make alive, then righteousness would indeed be by the law."
Eph 2:14-15 (RSV) "For he is our peace, who has made us both one, and has broken down the
dividing wall of hostility, 15by abolishing in his flesh the law of commandments and ordinances, that
he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace,"
Heb 8:6-13 (RSV) "But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry which is as much more excellent
than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises. 7For if
that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion for a second. 8For he
finds fault with them when he says: "The days will come, says the Lord, when I will establish a new
covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah; 9not like the covenant that I made
with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; for
they did not continue in my covenant, and so I paid no heed to them, says the Lord. 10This is the
covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord: I will put my laws
into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
11And they shall not teach every one his fellow or every one his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for
all shall know me, from the least of them to the greatest. 12For I will be merciful toward their
iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more." 13In speaking of a new covenant he treats the first
as obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.
