So that I may keep your law for ever and ever;
The men of pride have made great sport of me; but I have not been turned from your law.
I am burning with wrath, because of the sinners who have given up your law.

If his children give up my law, and are not ruled by my decisions;
Happy is the man who is guided by you, O Jah, and to whom you give teaching out of your law;
What part with you has the seat of sin, which makes evil into a law?

For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.
Do we, then, through faith make the law of no effect? in no way: but we make it clear that the law is important.

For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.
