Where it is used

• Romans 3:20 Therefore no one will be justified in His sight by works of the law. For the law merely brings awareness of sin.
• Romans 3:21 But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been revealed, as attested by the Law and the Prophets.
• Romans 3:27 Where, then, is boasting? It is excluded. On what principle? On that of works? No, but on that of faith.
• Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the law.

• Romans 4:13 For the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world was not given through the law, but through the righteousness that comes by faith.
• Romans 4:14 For if those who live by the law are heirs, faith is useless and the promise is worthless,
• Romans 4:15 because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law, there is no transgression.
• Romans 4:16 Therefore, the promise comes by faith, so that it may rest on grace and may be guaranteed to all Abraham’s offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who are of the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all.
• Romans 5:13 For sin was in the world before the law was given; but sin is not taken into account when there is no law.
• Romans 5:20 The law came in so that the trespass would increase; but where sin increased, grace increased all the more,
• Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be your master, because you are not under law, but under grace.
• Romans 6:15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law, but under grace? Certainly not!

• Romans 8:3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,
• Romans 8:4 so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

• 1 Corinthians 15:56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
• Galatians 2:16 know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
