But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, [is] therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
ερρηθησαν

And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Now I say, [That] the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all;
But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,
And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?

And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcision, why do I yet suffer persecution? then is the offence of the cross ceased.

For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all [men,] especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
