Matthew:5:17 @ Do not think that I have come to take away the law and the writings of the prophets. No, I have not come to take them away. But I have come to do what they say must be done.
bwe@Matthew:5:18 @ I tell you the truth. Until the sky and the earth are taken away, not one small part of the law will be taken away, until everything has been done.
bwe@Matthew:5:19 @ So anyone who does not obey one of the smallest laws, and teaches other people not to obey it, will have the smallest part in the kingdom of heaven. But any one who obeys and teaches the law, will have a big part in the kingdom of heaven.
bwe@Matthew:5:27 @ You have heard that the law says, "Do not commit adultery <FI>have another man or woman who is not your husband or wife<Fi>."
bwe@Matthew:5:31 @ The law said, "Any man who does not want to keep his wife must give her a paper to tell others she is no longer his wife."
bwe@Matthew:5:38 @ You have heard that the law says, "Take an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth."
bwe@Matthew:5:43 @ You have heard that the law says, "Love your neighbour and hate your enemy."
bwe@Matthew:7:12 @ Do to other people what you want them to do to you. That is what the law and the writings of the prophets say.
bwe@Matthew:8:4 @ Jesus said to him, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it, to prove to people you are healed.
bwe@Matthew:11:13 @ All the prophets and the books of the law gave Gods word until John came.
bwe@Matthew:12:5 @ Have you never read in the books of the law that the priests in the temple break the Sabbath law on the Sabbath day? They are not punished for it.
bwe@Matthew:13:52 @ Then Jesus said to them, So anyone who knows the law and has learned about the kingdom of heaven, is like the headman of a house. He can bring both new things and old things out of what he has stored up.
bwe@Matthew:15:2 @ They asked him, Why do your disciples break the law our fathers made? They do not wash their hands before they eat.
bwe@Matthew:15:3 @ Jesus asked them, Why do you break Gods law so that you can keep your own law?
bwe@Matthew:15:6 @ You make Gods law to mean nothing so you can keep your own laws!
bwe@Matthew:19:7 @ They said to Jesus, Then why did Moses make this law? He said that a man may give his wife a paper to show that he does not want her any more. Then he may send her away.
bwe@Matthew:19:8 @ Jesus said to them, Moses wrote that law because your hearts are so hard. That is why he let you send your wives away. But in the beginning it was not that way.
bwe@Matthew:19:17 @ Jesus said, Why do you ask me about what is good? Only God is good. If you want to live for ever, you must keep Gods laws.
bwe@Matthew:19:18 @ The man said, Which laws? Jesus said, Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not steal. Do not tell lies.
bwe@Matthew:19:20 @ The young man said, I have kept all those laws. What more must I do?
bwe@Matthew:22:24 @ They came to ask him a question. They said, Teacher, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and has no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."
bwe@Matthew:22:35 @ One of them was a man who taught Gods law. He asked Jesus a question to try him out.
bwe@Matthew:22:36 @ Teacher, he said, which law is the greatest law of all?
bwe@Matthew:22:38 @ This is the first and greatest law.
bwe@Matthew:22:39 @ The second law of God is like it. "Love your neighbour as you love yourself."
bwe@Matthew:22:40 @ All that is written in the books of the law and the books of the prophets is about these two laws.
bwe@Matthew:23:23 @ You scribes and Pharisees will have trouble. You who are not true to yourselves! You give God a tenth part of small garden plants. But you have not done those bigger matters of the law. You have not judged in the right way. You have not been kind. You have not believed God. You should be doing these things and the other things too.
bwe@Mark:1:44 @ He said, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the gift you must give to God when you are healed. Give it to prove to people that you are healed.
bwe@Mark:7:3 @ They and all the Jews keep the laws made by men. God did not give them those laws. They do not eat until they wash their hands very well.
bwe@Mark:7:4 @ When they come from the market, they do not eat until they have washed themselves. They also keep many other laws such as washing cups, pots, brass pans, and beds.
bwe@Mark:7:5 @ The Pharisees and the scribes asked Jesus, Why do your disciples not keep the law our fathers made? Why do they eat with hands that are not clean?
bwe@Mark:7:8 @ You do not keep the law of God, but you keep the laws made by people. Those laws are about washing pots and cups. You do many other things like that also.
bwe@Mark:7:9 @ You break Gods law so that you can keep your own law.
bwe@Mark:7:13 @ You make Gods law to mean nothing so that you can keep your own laws. You do many other things like that also.
bwe@Mark:7:21 @ Here is what comes from the heart: wrong thoughts, all kinds of adultery, stealing, killing, wanting things that other people have, doing very wrong things, fooling people, breaking the law, jealousy, saying wrong things about people, being proud, being foolish.
bwe@Mark:10:3 @ Jesus answered, What law did Moses give you?
bwe@Mark:10:5 @ Jesus said to them, Moses wrote that law because your hearts are so hard.
bwe@Mark:10:19 @ You know the laws: "Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not tell lies. Do not cheat. Respect your father and your mother."
bwe@Mark:10:20 @ The man answered Jesus. He said, Teacher, I have kept all those laws since I was a boy.
bwe@Mark:12:19 @ Teacher, they said, Moses gave us this law: if a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother.
bwe@Mark:12:28 @ One of the scribes heard them talking. He saw that Jesus gave them a good answer. Then he came and asked, Which law is the greatest law of all?
bwe@Mark:12:31 @ The second law is this: "Love your neighbour as you love yourself." No law is greater than these laws.
bwe@Luke:1:6 @ Both of them were good people as God saw them. They obeyed all the laws and the things that the Lord said they should do.
bwe@Luke:2:1 @ About that time, Augustus the Roman ruler made a law. All the people in the world must have their names written down in a book.
bwe@Luke:2:22 @ The time came when Mary was no longer unclean by the law of Moses. Joseph and Mary took Jesus to Jerusalem to bring him to the Lord.
bwe@Luke:2:23 @ This is what is written in the law of the Lord: Every boy who is the first child of his mother will be holy for the Lord.
bwe@Luke:2:24 @ They also came to make a sacrifice as an offering to God. The law of the Lord said, A pair of doves or two young pigeons.
bwe@Luke:2:27 @ He came into the temple, led by the Spirit. The parents brought in the child Jesus to do what the law said they should do about him.
bwe@Luke:2:39 @ The parents did everything that the law of the Lord said they should do. Then they went back to Galilee to their own town, Nazareth.
bwe@Luke:2:46 @ On the third day they found him in the temple. He was sitting in front of the teachers of the law. He was listening to them and asking them questions.
bwe@Luke:5:14 @ Jesus said to him, Do not tell anyone about this. But go and let the priest look at you. Moses gave a law about the sacrifice you must give when you are healed. Give it to prove to the people that you are healed.
bwe@Luke:5:17 @ One day Jesus was teaching people. Pharisees and other Jewish teachers of the law were sitting there. They had come from every town in Galilee and Judea, and from Jerusalem. Jesus had the power of the Lord to heal the sick.
bwe@Luke:7:30 @ But the Pharisees and teachers of the law would not follow Gods way and they were not baptised by John.
bwe@Luke:10:25 @ A man who taught Gods law stood up and asked Jesus a question to try him out. Teacher, he said. What must I do so that I will live for ever?
bwe@Luke:10:26 @ Jesus said to him, What does the law say? What do you read there?
bwe@Luke:10:36 @ Jesus said to the teacher of the law, What do you think? Which of these three was a neighbour to the man who was caught by the bad men?
bwe@Luke:11:45 @ Then one of the men who taught Gods law said to Jesus, Teacher, when you say these things, you talk against us too.
bwe@Luke:11:52 @ You teachers of Gods law will have trouble! You have taken away the key of the door where people can go in and know what is true. You yourselves did not go in, and you stopped those who were going in.
bwe@Luke:14:3 @ Jesus asked the teachers of Gods law and the Pharisees, Is it right to heal a person on the Sabbath day or not?
bwe@Luke:16:16 @ The Law and the Prophets gave Gods word until John came. Since then, the good news of Gods kingdom has been told. And now everyone tries hard to get into the kingdom.
bwe@Luke:16:17 @ It would be easier to take away the sky and the earth than for the smallest part of the law to fall.
bwe@Luke:18:20 @ You know the laws, "Do not commit adultery. <FI>Do not take a man or woman who is not your husband or wife.<Fi> Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not tell lies. Respect your father and your mother."
bwe@Luke:18:21 @ The man said, I have kept all these laws since I was a boy.
bwe@Luke:20:28 @ They came to ask Jesus a question. Teacher, they said, Moses gave us this law: "If a man dies and leaves a wife but no children, then his brother must marry the wife and raise a family for his brother."
bwe@Luke:23:56 @ Then they went back and got things ready to put on his body. These things were spices that smelled very nice, and sweet kinds of oil. On the Sabbath day they rested as the law said they should.
bwe@John:1:17 @ Moses gave the law, but Jesus Christ gave this loving kindness and truth.
bwe@John:1:45 @ Philip went to find Nathanael. He said We have found the man about whom Moses wrote in the books of the law. The prophets also wrote about him. He is Jesus, from Nazareth. He is the son of Joseph.
bwe@John:2:6 @ Six very large water pots made of stone were standing there. The pots were there because the Jews had a certain law about washing themselves.
bwe@John:5:18 @ This was why the leaders of the Jews tried much more to kill Jesus. He had broken the law of the Sabbath day. And also he called God his Father. In that way, he was making himself equal with God.
bwe@John:7:19 @ Did not Moses give you the law? Not one of you is keeping the law. Why are you trying to kill me?
bwe@John:7:22 @ Moses gave you the law of circumcision. You obey the law, not because it came from Moses, but because it came from the fathers long ago. You circumcise a baby boy on the Sabbath day.
bwe@John:7:23 @ You do it on the Sabbath day so that you will not break the law of Moses. If you do that, then why are you angry with me because I healed a man on the Sabbath day?
bwe@John:7:49 @ These poor people do not know the law. They will die!
bwe@John:7:51 @ He said, Is it right to judge any man by our law before we hear him and learn what he has done?
bwe@John:8:5 @ The law of Moses tells us that the people who do that should be killed with stones. What do you say?
bwe@John:8:17 @ Even in your law it says that when two people say the same thing, it is true.
bwe@John:9:16 @ Then some of the Pharisees said, This man is not from God. He does not obey the Sabbath day law. The others said, But how can a bad man do such a big work? So the Pharisees did not agree together in what they thought about Jesus.
bwe@John:11:55 @ The time for the Passover Feast of the Jews was near. Many people from all around the country went to Jerusalem. They had to make themselves clean according to the law before the Passover Feast.
bwe@John:12:34 @ The people answered him, Our law book tells us that Christ will stay here for ever. Why do you say, "The Son of Man will be raised up from the earth"? Tell us who this Son of Man is.
bwe@John:13:34 @ I give you a new law. That law is, "Love each other." As I have loved you, so you also love each other.
bwe@John:15:17 @ Here is the law I gave you. Love each other.
bwe@John:15:25 @ This has happened in order to make the words of their law book come true. It says, "They hated me for no reason."
bwe@John:18:31 @ Pilate said, Take him and judge him by your own law. The leaders of the Jews said, But we are not allowed to kill anyone.
bwe@John:19:7 @ The leaders of the Jews answered him, We have a law. That law says he should die, because he calls himself the Son of God. When Pilate heard what they said, he was very much afraid.
bwe@Acts:1:12 @ Then they left the hill called the Mount of Olives. They went back to Jerusalem which was not far away. (It was how far the law said people may walk on the Sabbath day.)
bwe@Acts:5:34 @ Then a lawyer named Gamaliel stood up in the court. He was a Pharisee and all the people respected him. He asked that the apostles be taken out for a while.
bwe@Acts:6:13 @ They brought in the men who told lies about him. They said, This man is always saying wrong things about this holy place and the laws.
bwe@Acts:6:14 @ We have heard him say that this Jesus of Nazareth will break down this place and that he will change the law which Moses gave us.
bwe@Acts:7:44 @ Our fathers had the tent for the laws of God in the wilderness. It was built the way God showed Moses to make it.
bwe@Acts:7:53 @ You received the law given by angels, but you have not kept it.
bwe@Acts:10:28 @ He began to talk with them. He said, You yourselves know it is against our law for a Jew to visit and be friends with someone who is not a Jew. But God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.
bwe@Acts:13:15 @ First, someone read from the books of the law and the prophets. Then the rulers of the meeting house called Paul and Barnabas and said, Men and brothers, have you something to say that will help us? Please say it.
bwe@Acts:13:39 @ The law of Moses could not make you free. But this man makes you free. You will not be judged if you believe in him.
bwe@Acts:15:5 @ But some of the believers who belonged to the Pharisee group stood up and said, They must be circumcised <FI>like the Jews<Fi>. We must tell them to keep all the laws of Moses.
bwe@Acts:15:21 @ Since the times of long ago there have been men who told about Moses in every city. They read his laws in the meeting places every Sabbath day.
bwe@Acts:15:24 @ We have heard that some of our people visited you and talked to you. They taught things that troubled you and made you believe wrong things. They said, "You must be circumcised like the Jews and keep the law." We did not tell them to teach you this.
bwe@Acts:16:21 @ They are teaching people laws which we may not obey because we are Roman people.
bwe@Acts:17:7 @ Jason has taken them into his house. None of them obeys the laws of Caesar. They say there is another king named Jesus.
bwe@Acts:18:13 @ They said, This man is talking to the people. He is trying to make them worship God in a way that is against our law.
bwe@Acts:18:15 @ But this is a matter about words and names and about your own law. So you must go and take care of it yourselves! I will not judge such things.
bwe@Acts:19:38 @ Now then, if Demetrius and the men who work with him have any complaint, let them take it to law. We have a court and we have judges.
bwe@Acts:19:39 @ If you want anything more than that, it must be done in a meeting which has been called by law.
bwe@Acts:21:20 @ When they heard it, they praised the Lord. They said to Paul, Brother, there are many thousands of Jews who believe. They all say we must obey the law of Moses.
bwe@Acts:21:21 @ They have heard that you teach all the Jews who live in other lands. They heard that you tell them not to obey Moses law: that they need not circumcise their children like the Jews do; and they can leave the Jewish ways of living.
bwe@Acts:21:24 @ Take them with you. Make yourself clean with them, the way the law says to do. Pay the cost for having their hair cut. Then all the people will know that all the things they heard about you are not true. They will know that you live the way the law says you should live.
bwe@Acts:21:26 @ Then Paul took the men with him. The next day he made himself clean with them the way the law says to do. Then he went into the temple. He told the priests which day they would finish making themselves clean. On that day a sacrifice would be made for each one of them.
bwe@Acts:21:28 @ They shouted, All you men of Israel, come and help us! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere not to respect our people. He says we need not obey the law or respect this temple. And what is more, he has brought Greek people into the temple. He has made this holy place unclean.
bwe@Acts:22:2 @ When the people heard him speak in the Jews language, they were even more quiet. Then Paul said, I am a Jew. I was born in the city of Tarsus in Cilicia. But I was raised here in this city. Gamaliel was my teacher. He taught me very well in the law of our fathers. I was trying hard to obey God, just as you all are today.
bwe@Acts:22:12 @ A man named Ananias was there. He obeyed the law of Moses, and all the Jews who lived there spoke well of him.
bwe@Acts:23:3 @ Paul said, God will hit you down, you dirty wall painted white! You sit there to judge me by the law and you break the law by telling them to hit me.
bwe@Acts:23:29 @ I found out that their complaints were to do with their law. But he had not done anything wrong enough to die or to be put into prison.
bwe@Acts:24:1 @ Five days later, Ananias the high priest came from Jerusalem. He brought with him some of the leaders and a lawyer named Tertullus. They told the ruler their complaint against Paul.
bwe@Acts:24:5 @ We have found this man to be a real trouble-maker. He talks to the Jews all over the world and causes them to disobey the laws. He is the leading trouble-maker of the Nazarene group.
bwe@Acts:24:6 @ He even tried to make the temple unclean. But we caught him and were going to judge him by our law.
bwe@Acts:24:9 @ The Jews agreed with what Tertullus the lawyer said. They said, Yes, yes, he is telling the truth.
bwe@Acts:24:14 @ But I myself tell you this. I worship the God of my fathers in the Christian way. They say this is not the right way. I believe everything that the law teaches. I believe everything that the prophets have written.
bwe@Acts:24:18 @ While I was doing this, they found me in the temple. I had made myself clean the way the law says to do. I did not have many people around me. I was not making trouble.
bwe@Acts:25:8 @ Paul spoke for himself. He said, I have done no wrong to the law, or to the temple, or against Caesar the ruler of the Romans.
bwe@Acts:26:5 @ They have known me for a long time. They know, if they would tell it, that I lived like the Pharisee group. They obey the law better than any others who worship God the way we do.
bwe@Acts:28:17 @ After three days, Paul called for the leaders of the Jews at Rome. When they had come, he said to them, My brothers, I have done nothing against our people. I have obeyed the laws of our fathers. And yet I was made a prisoner at Jerusalem and was given over to the Romans.
bwe@Acts:28:23 @ So they chose a certain day. On that day many of them came to the house where Paul was staying. He told them about Gods kingdom. He tried to make them understand about Jesus by the things that were written in the law of Moses and in the books of the prophets. He talked from morning until evening.
bwe@Romans:2:12 @ All those who do not know the law <FI>of God given to Moses<Fi> and did what was wrong, will die. But they will not be judged by the law. All those who know the law and did what was wrong will be judged by the law.
bwe@Romans:2:13 @ (God does not say people are good because they have heard the law. But people who obey the law will be called good people.
bwe@Romans:2:14 @ Some people do not have the law. But they do what the law says because their own hearts tell them to. They have a law of their own, even though they do not know the law.
bwe@Romans:2:15 @ They show that the law is written in their hearts. They know what is right to do and what is wrong to do. Their own thoughts tell them they have done what is wrong or what is not wrong.)
bwe@Romans:2:17 @ But you call yourselves Jews. You believe the law. You are proud of your God.
bwe@Romans:2:18 @ You know what he wants people to do. You know the thoughts that are good because you have been taught the law.
bwe@Romans:2:20 @ You are sure that you can tell foolish people what is right. You can teach people who are like children. You know what you need to know and you know what is true because you have the law.
bwe@Romans:2:23 @ You are proud that you have the law. Do you break the law, and in that way show you do not honour God?
bwe@Romans:2:25 @ Circumcision of the body is a good thing if you obey the law. But if you break the law, you are like a man who has not been circumcised with this mark of the Jew.
bwe@Romans:2:26 @ So if a man who has not been circumcised obeys the law, will he not be like a man who has been circumcised?
bwe@Romans:2:27 @ Some people have not been circumcised, but they obey the law. They will show that you should be punished. You have the written law and you have been circumcised, and yet you break the law.
bwe@Romans:3:2 @ It is much better in every way. First, Gods law was given to the Jews.
bwe@Romans:3:3 @ But some Jews did not keep his law. Does that mean that God cannot be trusted?
bwe@Romans:3:19 @ We know that everything the law says, it says to the people who have the law. Then no one can say a word for themselves. All the people in the world will be brought to God to be judged.
bwe@Romans:3:20 @ No one will be put right with God because he has tried to obey the law. The law only makes people know what they have done wrong.
bwe@Romans:3:21 @ So now God has shown how people can be put right with him without the law. The law and the prophets said he would do it.
bwe@Romans:3:28 @ We know that if a person believes in Christ, God makes him right again. It is not because that person has obeyed the law.
bwe@Romans:3:31 @ When we believe, does that make the law no good to us? No. That is not so. When we believe, we show that the law is right.
bwe@Romans:4:6 @ David also says that God blesses a man. God calls him a good man but not because he has kept the law.
bwe@Romans:4:13 @ God promised Abraham and his family that the world would belong to them. God did not make the promise because Abraham obeyed the law. But he made the promise because Abraham believed him and was put right with God.
bwe@Romans:4:14 @ If the world will belong to people who obey the law, it is of no use to believe God. And the promise is no good.
bwe@Romans:4:15 @ Because of the law, God is angry. Where there is no law, no one breaks the law.
bwe@Romans:4:16 @ That is why people must believe. Because God is kind, he makes the promise sure for all of Abrahams children. The promise is for those who have the law and also for those who believe as Abraham did. He is the father of us all.
bwe@Romans:5:13 @ People in the world were not right with God before he gave the law. But wrong things are not punished when there is no law.
bwe@Romans:5:20 @ When the law came, it showed how wrong people really were. But when people were really bad, God was even more kind.
bwe@Romans:6:14 @ Wrong ways will not be your masters. The law does not rule over you now, but Gods loving kindness rules over you.
bwe@Romans:6:15 @ What then? The law does not rule over us now. Gods loving kindness rules over us. So, shall we do wrong things? No, never!
bwe@Romans:7:1 @ My brothers, I am saying this to you people who know the law. Do you not know that the law is master over a person only while he lives?
bwe@Romans:7:2 @ A married woman belongs to her husband by law as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is free from the law that made her belong to her husband.
bwe@Romans:7:3 @ So if she belongs to another man while her husband is living, she commits adultery. But if her husband dies, she is free from that law. Then if she belongs to another man, she does not commit adultery.
bwe@Romans:7:4 @ In the same way my brothers, you died when Christ died. And you are free from the law. Now you belong to another person. You belong to the one who has been raised from death. Because of that, we are able to do what God wants us to do.
bwe@Romans:7:5 @ One time we lived in the way our bodies wanted to live. The law made us think about doing wrong things. And we did things that made us die.
bwe@Romans:7:6 @ But now we have been made free from the law. We died, and so we are no longer slaves to the one who was our master. Now we are slaves to God in our new life. This new life is ruled by the Spirit. We do not work for the old written law.
bwe@Romans:7:7 @ So what shall we say? Shall we say that the law is bad? No! I would not have known what is wrong if there had been no law. The law says, Do not want to take other peoples things. That is how I know it is wrong to want another persons things.
bwe@Romans:7:8 @ My wrong ways used the law to make me want all kinds of things. When there is no law, the thing within me that wants to do wrong is dead.
bwe@Romans:7:9 @ Once I had no law, and I lived. But when the law came, that which wanted to do wrong things came to life, and I died.
bwe@Romans:7:10 @ The same law which was meant to make a person live, made me die.
bwe@Romans:7:11 @ My wrong ways used the law to fool me and kill me.
bwe@Romans:7:12 @ So the law is holy. And what the law says is holy and right and good.
bwe@Romans:7:13 @ So did that good thing make me die? No. The wrong things I did made me die, because that good thing showed they were wrong. And the law shows that the wrong things are very, very bad.
bwe@Romans:7:14 @ We know that the law came from the Holy Spirit. But I am a weak man. I have been sold like a slave to do wrong things.
bwe@Romans:7:16 @ And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.
bwe@Romans:7:21 @ So there is a law I find that it is at work in me. When I want to do what is right, I can only do what is wrong.
bwe@Romans:7:22 @ In my own mind I am glad to obey the law of God.
bwe@Romans:7:23 @ But I see that in my body there is another law fighting against the law in my mind. And that makes me like a prisoner to the law of wrong things in my body.
bwe@Romans:7:25 @ Thank God for Jesus Christ our Lord who will do it! So this is the way it is. In my mind I am a slave to do the law of God, but in my body I am a slave to do the law of wrong things.
bwe@Romans:8:2 @ The Spirit gives life in Christ Jesus. And the law of the Spirit has set me free from the law of wrong things, and the law of death.
bwe@Romans:8:3 @ God has done what the law could not do. The things people did made the law weak. God sent his own Son in a body of man. His body was like the bodies which others use to do wrong things. He sent him because people have done wrong things. And he judged the wrong things people have done in their bodies.
bwe@Romans:8:4 @ He did this so that we might be good people as the law said we should be. We are good people if we live the way the Spirit wants us to live, not the way our bodies want to live.
bwe@Romans:8:7 @ People who think about the things of this life are Gods enemies. They do not obey Gods law. They cannot obey it.
bwe@Romans:9:3 @ They are Jews. God gave them the right to be his sons. He showed them how great he is. He made agreements with them. He gave them the law. He told them how to worship him. He gave them the promises.
bwe@Romans:9:30 @ But the Jews tried to obey the law that could make them good people. But they did not obey it all.
bwe@Romans:9:31 @ Why was that? They did not trust in God. They only trusted in doing the things of the law. They therefore hit their feet on the stone on which men hit their feet.
bwe@Romans:10:4 @ Christ has made an end to the law as a way of getting right with God. Everyone who believes in him is put right with God.
bwe@Romans:10:5 @ Moses wrote this: A man who obeys the law will live by it.
bwe@Romans:13:8 @ Do not have any debts, but love each other. Anyone who loves his neighbour has done all that the law says we should do.
bwe@Romans:13:9 @ The law says, Do not commit adultery. Do not kill. Do not steal. Do not want things that belong to other people. These laws and others are all in this one law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.
bwe@Romans:13:10 @ Anyone who loves his neighbour will do no wrong to him. So love does all that the law says to do.
bwe@1Corinthians:7:25 @ Here is what I say about those who are not married. (I have no law from the Lord about this. But here is what I think. You can trust me because the Lord has helped me.)
bwe@1Corinthians:9:8 @ Am I saying only what men say? Does not Gods law also say the same?
bwe@1Corinthians:9:9 @ Moses wrote in his books of the law of God, Do not tie shut the mouth of an ox when it is treading the grain. Does God care about the oxen?
bwe@1Corinthians:9:20 @ When I was with the Jews, I lived like the Jews, so that I might win the Jews to Christ. I was not under the law. But I lived as if I was under the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win to Christ those who are under the law.
bwe@1Corinthians:9:21 @ When I was with those who do not have the law of the Jews, I lived as if I did not have the law of the Jews. I did this so that I might win them also. Of course, I myself have laws. I follow the laws of Christ.
bwe@1Corinthians:15:55 @ Death hurts us because we are bad people. And our wrong ways are so strong because of the law.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:6 @ God has made a new start with people. He has given us a new way back to God. It is not a written law. The Spirit gives it to us. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:7 @ The old law that brought death was written on pieces of rock. There was a very bright light when God gave it to the people. The people of Israel could not look at Moses because his face was so bright. And even as they saw it, the light on his face was going away.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:8 @ Now bringing the law was bright and wonderful. Will not bringing the Spirit be far more bright and wonderful?
bwe@2Corinthians:3:9 @ Bringing the law was a wonderful thing even though it brought death. So bringing the good news that people can be put right with God is much more wonderful.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:10 @ The law was so bright and wonderful at first but has no light now. There is something else that is so much more bright and wonderful.
bwe@2Corinthians:3:14 @ But their minds were made dull. Even today, when the old law of God is read, it is as if a cloth still covers it. It is Christ who takes the cloth away.
bwe@Galatians:1:13 @ You have heard how I lived while I was still under the law of the Jews. I troubled the church of God very much. And I even tried to stop the church people altogether.
bwe@Galatians:1:14 @ I knew more about the law of the Jews than many of my own age among my people. I wanted much more than they did to obey the laws which our fathers passed down to us, even the ones that were not written.
bwe@Galatians:2:4 @ But some men got in who were not true brothers. They came in secretly to spy on us to find out things about us. They did not want us to be free the way Christ Jesus has made us free. But they wanted to make us obey the old laws again <FI>which were given to Moses by God<Fi>.
bwe@Galatians:2:16 @ Yet we know that God does not call a man good because he tries to obey the law of the Jews. But we know that God puts a man right because he believes in Jesus Christ. So we also believed in Jesus Christ. And we are put right with God because we believe in Christ and not because we obey the law. No person will ever be called good by God just because he tries to obey the law of the Jews.
bwe@Galatians:2:19 @ Through the law I died. Now the law has no power over me so that I may live for God.
bwe@Galatians:2:21 @ So I do not make the love of God useless. But if a person can be made good by the law, then Christ died for nothing.
bwe@Galatians:3:2 @ Here is one thing I want to ask you. You received the Holy Spirit. Was that because you obeyed the law <FI>given to the Jews by Moses<Fi>? No, it was because you heard Gods word and believed it.
bwe@Galatians:3:3 @ Have you no sense at all? You began living your new life by the power of the Spirit. And are you now trying to finish living it by your own power <FI>to keep the law<Fi>?
bwe@Galatians:3:5 @ God gives you the Spirit. He does wonderful works among you. Does he do this because you obey the law? No, he does it because you heard the word of God and believed it.
bwe@Galatians:3:10 @ A curse is on all people who are trying to become good by obeying the law. The holy writings say, Everyone is cursed who does not always obey everything that is written in the book of the law and do it.
bwe@Galatians:3:11 @ Now, you can see this. No man is called a good man by God because he obeys the law. The holy writings say, Those who are right with God shall live by faith.
bwe@Galatians:3:12 @ The law does not ask people to believe. It says, He who obeys the laws will live because of them.
bwe@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ has saved us from the curse which the law put on us. He took the curse on himself. It should have been on us. The holy writings say, A curse be on everyone who hangs on a tree!
bwe@Galatians:3:17 @ Here is what I mean. The law was given <FI>to Moses<Fi> four hundred and thirty years after God gave that promise to Abraham. But it cannot break the strong promise which God made. And the law cannot change Gods promise.
bwe@Galatians:3:18 @ Do we get what God has promised us by obeying the law? If we do, then we are not getting it by his promise. But God gave it to Abraham by his promise.
bwe@Galatians:3:19 @ Why then was the law made? God gave it after he made the promise, because so many people were doing what was wrong. The law was to be in power only until the Son came, the one to whom the promise was made. The law was handed down by Gods angels with the help of a middle man.
bwe@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the law against the promises of God? No, it is not! If a law had been given that could give people life, then surely people would have become good people by the law.
bwe@Galatians:3:23 @ Before one came for us to believe in, the law held us in prison like slaves. We were kept there until the one to believe in should come.
bwe@Galatians:3:24 @ The law watched over us, as if we were children, until Christ came. Then God would put us right with himself through faith in Christ.
bwe@Galatians:3:25 @ But now that one has come for us to believe in, the law does not watch over us any longer.
bwe@Galatians:4:4 @ But when the right time came, God sent his Son to make us free. He was born by a woman during the time when men had to obey the law.
bwe@Galatians:4:5 @ God sent him to set the people free who were under the law. God sent him so that we would receive our rights as sons of God.
bwe@Galatians:4:21 @ Tell me, you people that want the law to control you, why do you not listen to the law?
bwe@Galatians:5:3 @ Again I say to every man who is circumcised, he must obey all the law.
bwe@Galatians:5:4 @ Some of you are trying to obey the law, so that God will call you good. If you do this, you have been cut off from Christ. You have lost the blessing of God.
bwe@Galatians:5:14 @ This one law is the whole law: Love your neighbour as you love yourself.
bwe@Galatians:5:18 @ If you do what the Spirit wants you to do, then you will be free from the law.
bwe@Galatians:5:22 @ But these are the things which the Spirit wants you to show: love, joy, peace, patience, being kind, being good, being true, being gentle, and keeping the body under control. There is no law that says, These things are wrong.
bwe@Galatians:6:2 @ Help each other in your troubles. In that way you obey Christs law.
bwe@Galatians:6:13 @ Even those who are circumcised do not obey the law. But they want you to be circumcised. Then they can be proud that they made you do it.
bwe@Ephesians:2:9 @ You were not saved by trying to do what the law says. So no one can be proud about it.
bwe@Ephesians:2:15 @ In his own body Christ made an end of the law and its rules. He did this so that in him two peoples could become one. In this way, he made peace between us.
bwe@Ephesians:6:2 @ Respect your father and mother. This is the first law of God with a promise: So that all will be well with you, and that you may live long on earth.
bwe@Philippians:3:5 @ I had the mark of a Jew cut in my body when I was eight days old. I was born of the people of Israel. I belong to the family of Benjamin, so I was born a true Jew. I was a Pharisee, so I obeyed the Jewish law very carefully.
bwe@Philippians:3:6 @ I was so full of my own ideas that I sent Christians to prison. But I was a good man in the way the Jewish law calls a man good.
bwe@Philippians:3:9 @ I do it so that I will belong to him. I do not want to be called good because of the Jewish law. But I want to be made good by believing in Christ. I want to be put right with God through faith alone.
bwe@Colossians:2:14 @ He wiped out all the things that were written against us in the laws. He took the writing away and nailed it to a cross.
bwe@Colossians:2:20 @ Did you die with Christ? Then you left the teachings of this world. So why do you obey laws as if you were still living in this world?
bwe@Colossians:2:21 @ I mean laws like this: "Do not touch that. Do not eat this. Do not put your hand on that."
bwe@Colossians:2:22 @ All such things are gone as soon as they are used. These are laws made and taught by men.
bwe@Colossians:2:23 @ These laws look as if they are good laws. They make a show of doing things for God. They make people humble themselves in some way. They make people control their bodies in certain ways. But they have no power to keep people from doing all the wrong things they want to do.
bwe@2Thessalonians:2:7 @ The plan to make people wrong has already begun to work. But someone is holding back that plan. He will stop the law-breaker for a time.
bwe@1Timothy:1:7 @ They want to teach the law. But they do not understand what they say. And they do not know what they are trying to prove.
bwe@1Timothy:1:8 @ We know that the law is good when anyone uses it in the right way.
bwe@1Timothy:1:9 @ He must understand that the law was not made for the man who lives right. It was made for those who do not want any laws over them, and for those who will not obey. It was made for those who do not respect God, and those who are bad people. It was made for those who do not respect anything that is holy or belongs to God. It was made for those who beat their fathers or mothers, and for those who kill people.
bwe@Titus:3:9 @ Have nothing to do with: foolish quarrels; lists of people who lived long ago; those who make trouble and argue about the law. These things do not help people and are good for nothing.
bwe@Titus:3:12 @ Do your best to send Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos on their way. Give them all they need.
bwe@Hebrews:2:2 @ What the angels said proved to be true. Every one who broke the law, and who did not obey it, was punished as he should be punished.
bwe@Hebrews:7:5 @ The sons of Levi, who are priests, have the right by law to take a tenth of what the people have. These people are their own brothers. They also are Abrahams children.
bwe@Hebrews:7:11 @ It was while the sons of Levi were priests that the law was made for the people. If those priests were good enough, why would another priest need to come who was like Melchizedek? Why would he not be like Aaron?
bwe@Hebrews:7:12 @ If the kind of priest is changed, then the law must be changed also.
bwe@Hebrews:7:16 @ He was not made a priest by law. The law said that the priest must come from a certain tribe. But he was made a priest because he has power to live for ever.
bwe@Hebrews:7:18 @ The old law given to Moses by God was put away. It was weak and no good.
bwe@Hebrews:7:19 @ The law did not make anything right. But something better has been brought to us. It is Gods promise. And by that promise we come near to God.
bwe@Hebrews:7:28 @ The law makes men high priests, and they are weak. But the word of Gods promise came after the law. It makes his Son high priest for ever, and he is all right.
bwe@Hebrews:8:4 @ If he were still on earth, he would not be a priest. There are priests on earth already who offer gifts the way the law says.
bwe@Hebrews:8:10 @ After those days, the Lord says, I will make an agreement with the people of Israel. This is my agreement. I will put my laws in their minds. I will write them in their hearts. I will be their God and they will be my people.
bwe@Hebrews:9:1 @ The first agreement had laws about worship. And it had a holy place on earth where the agreement was kept.
bwe@Hebrews:9:10 @ These are only things to eat and drink and different kinds of washings. They are laws made for the body until the time when everything is made right again.
bwe@Hebrews:9:19 @ Moses told all the people every part of the law. Then he took the blood of young cows and goats. He put some of the blood on the book of the law itself and on all the people. He took water and red wool and a plant called hyssop.
bwe@Hebrews:9:22 @ Yes, by the old![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
