¹ Or are ye ignorant, brethren (for I speak to men who know the law), that the law hath dominion over a man for so long time as he liveth?

¹ Brethren, my heart's desire and my supplication to God is for them, that they may be saved.

³ For I could wish that I myself were anathema from Christ for my brethren's sake, my kinsmen according to the flesh:

⁶ But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.

¹⁴ For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under law, but under grace.

³ Or are ye ignorant that all we who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

²³ For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

²¹ Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?

⁸ Do I speak these things after the manner of men? or saith not the law also the same?

¹⁷ But if thou bearest the name of a Jew, and restest upon the law, and gloriest in God,

¹⁸ and knowest his will, and approvest the things that are excellent, being instructed out of the law,

¹³ And I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you (and was hindered hitherto), that I might have some fruit in you also, even as in the rest of the Gentiles.

²⁵ And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God that is in thy hand, appoint magistrates and judges, who may judge all the people that are beyond the River, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye him that knoweth them not.
