Galatians chapter 4 verse 21-31
Tell me you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says? For it is written that Abraham had two sons,one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. His son by the slave woman was born in the ordinary way; but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a promise.
These things may be taken figuratively, for the women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. But the Jerusalem that is above is free, and she is our mother. For it is written: "be glad, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth and cry aloud, you who have no labor pains; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband. Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise. At that time the son born in the ordinary way persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit. It is the same now. But what does the Scripture say? Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman's son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman's son Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.

Matt 19
And someone came to Him and said, Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life? 17 And He said to him, Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is
only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life,
keep the commandments. 18
Then he *said to Him,
Which ones? And Jesus said,
You shall not commit murder;
You shall not commit adultery;
You shall not steal;
You shall not bear false witness;
19 Honor your father and mother;
and
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31
What law? The Law that condemns all mankind as sinners -
Rom 3
19 Now we know
that what things soever the law saith, it
saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped,
and all the world may become guilty before God.
20 Therefore by the
deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight:
for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being
witnessed by the law and the prophets;
That same law - same chapter
"
do we then make void the Law of God by our faith? God forbid! In fact we ESTABLISH the LAW" Rom 3:31
Rom 7
7 What shall we say then?
Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except
the law had said,
Thou shalt not covet.
8 But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For
without the law sin was dead.
9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Rom 13
8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath
fulfilled the law.
9 For this,
Thou shalt not commit adultery,
Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal,
Thou shalt not bear false witness,
Thou shalt not covet;
and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore
love is the fulfilling of the law.
James 2
8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law
according to the Scripture,
You shall love your neighbor as yourself, (Lev 19:18) you are doing well.
9 But if you show partiality,
you are committing sin and are
convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For
whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one
point, he has become
guilty of all.
11 For
He who said, [/FONT]
[FONT="]Do not commit adultery[/FONT][FONT="],
also said, [/FONT]
[FONT="]
Do not commit murder.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Now if you do not
commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have
become a transgressor of the law. [/FONT]
