我就死了。那本该叫人活的诫命反而叫我死。

我就死了。那本该叫人活的诫命反而叫我死。

For Moses writes about the righteousness of the law,“ The one who does them will live by them.”

You shall therefore keep my statutes and my ordinances, which if a man does, he shall live in them. I am Yahweh.

“‘“ But the children rebelled against me. They didn’t walk in my statutes, and didn’t keep my ordinances to do them, which if a man does, he shall live in them. They profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them, to accomplish my anger against them in the wilderness.

I gave them my statutes, and showed them my ordinances, which if a man does, he will live in them.

He answered,“ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”He said to him,“ You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”But he, desiring to justify himself, asked Jesus,“ Who is my neighbor?”

The law is not of faith, but,“ The man who does them will live by them.”

“‘“ But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They didn’t walk in my statutes, and they rejected my ordinances, which if a man keeps, he shall live in them. They greatly profaned my Sabbaths. Then I said I would pour out my wrath on them in the wilderness, to consume them.
