You who boast in the law dishonor God by transgressing the law!

For if Abraham was declared righteous by the works of the law, he has something to boast about– but not before God.

so that no one can boast in his presence.He is the reason you have a relationship with Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption,so that, as it is written,“ Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast of your relationship to God

But the scripture imprisoned everything and everyone under sin so that the promise could be given– because of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ– to those who believe.

Now we know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world may be held accountable to God.

So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

The one who believes and is baptized will be saved, but the one who does not believe will be condemned.

For the law of the life- giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

Jesus also told this parable to some who were confident that they were righteous and looked down on everyone else.“ Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.The Pharisee stood and prayed about himself like this:‘ God, I thank you that I am not like other people: extortionists, unrighteous people, adulterers– or even like this tax collector.I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of everything I get.’The tax collector, however, stood far off and would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said,‘ God, be merciful to me, sinner that I am!’I tell you that this man went down to his home justified rather than the Pharisee. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

But I see a different law in my members waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that is in my members.

And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.

In that day you will not be ashamed of all your rebelliousness against me, for then I will remove from your midst those who proudly boast, and you will never again be arrogant on my holy hill.

even before they were born or had done anything good or bad( so that God’s purpose in election would stand, not by works but by his calling)–

I will establish my covenant with you, and then you will know that I am the LORD.Then you will remember, be ashamed, and remain silent when I make atonement for all you have done, declares the sovereign LORD.’”

The one who believes in the Son has eternal life. The one who rejects the Son will not see life, but God’s wrath remains on him.

Then you will remember your evil behavior and your deeds which were not good; you will loathe yourselves on account of your sins and your abominable deeds.Understand that it is not for your sake I am about to act, declares the sovereign LORD. Be ashamed and embarrassed by your behavior, O house of Israel.

Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?

For Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law:“ The one who does these things will live by them.”

Why not? Because they pursued it not by faith but( as if it were possible) by works. They stumbled over the stumbling stone,

yet we know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by the faithfulness of Jesus Christ. And we have come to believe in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by the faithfulness of Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no one will be justified.

For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God;it is not from works, so that no one can boast.For we are his workmanship, having been created in Christ Jesus for good works that God prepared beforehand so we may do them.
