¹ Know ye not, brethren, (for I speak to them that know the law,) how that the law hath dominion over a man as long as he liveth?

¹ Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved.

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

⁶ But now we are delivered from the law, that being dead wherein we were held; that we should serve in newness of spirit, and not in the oldness of the letter.

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

³ Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ 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 Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also?

¹⁷ Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

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

¹³ Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles.

²⁵ And thou, Ezra, after the wisdom of thy God, that is in thine hand, set magistrates and judges, which may judge all the people that are beyond the river, all such as know the laws of thy God; and teach ye them that know them not.
