Law teachers/not works of righteousness which we have done, what are they teaching against.

Apostle Paul is a true example of God to the entire world, for everyone to follow.

Paul was persecuting Jesus, by what he was doing and what he was following after. ( the law) Paul asks what the Lord Jesus will have him to do, Jesus tells him it shall be told to him in the city of Damascus.

Paul was chosen specifically to bear the name of the Lord Jesus Christ before the Gentiles, and the children of Israel. ( along with kings) for Jesus would SHOW HIM how GREAT THINGS he must suffer for His name's sake.

Paul was strengthened and was with the disciples at Damascus, and straight away preached Christ in the synagogues that He is the Son of God.

Barnabas then takes Paul away ( those who heard him of the Jews in the law wanted to kill him) and relates to the apostles that Paul had seen the Lord in the way and Jesus had spoken to Paul, and then Paul had preached BOLDLY at Damascus in the name of Jesus. ( before this Saul who is Paul, had gone to Damascus for the intention of bringing men and women to Jerusalem by the authority of the chief priests in the law, to put all who call on the name of the Lord to death.).....

Acts 9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

Acts 9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

Acts 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

Acts 9:27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus..

The transformation of apostle Paul and the difference in what he NOW DOES, is so important that it is repeatedly witnessed.

Paul recalls how the Lord says to him to arise and go into Damascus, and THERE IT SHALL BE TOLD TO PAUL OF ALL THINGS WHICH ARE APPOINTED FOR HIM TO DO.

Paul was told, the god of their fathers had chosen Paul, for Paul to know the will of Jesus Christ and to see that just One, and that Paul should hear the voice of His mouth. ( FALSE PROPHETS HEAR NOTHING, BELIEVE IN NOTHING, FOLLOW NOTHING, HEAR AND SPEAK VANITY AND DECEIT.)....

Acts 22:10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

Do not hear the words of the prophets that prophesy unto us, as: they make us vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

Are False prophets identified by their preaching of doing works, when we are witnessed by apostle Paul that it is not by works of righteousness which we have done ? ( Jeremiah 23:16. Titus 3:5.)

Or false prophets use verses of scripture to stand in the way of what else the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ did, to try to confuse their examples, with the words they use to block the world from doing righteousness.

Apostle Paul is a true example of God to the entire world, for everyone to follow.

Here is a brief summary of this.

Paul was persecuting Jesus, by what he was doing and what he was following after. ( the law) Paul asks what the Lord Jesus will have him to do, Jesus tells him it shall be told to him in the city of Damascus.

Paul was chosen specifically to bear the name of the Lord Jesus Christ before the Gentiles, and the children of Israel. ( along with kings) for Jesus would SHOW HIM how GREAT THINGS he must suffer for His name's sake.

Paul was strengthened and was with the disciples at Damascus, and straight away preached Christ in the synagogues that He is the Son of God.

Barnabas then takes Paul away ( those who heard him of the Jews in the law wanted to kill him) and relates to the apostles that Paul had seen the Lord in the way and Jesus had spoken to Paul, and then Paul had preached BOLDLY at Damascus in the name of Jesus. ( before this Saul who is Paul, had gone to Damascus for the intention of bringing men and women to Jerusalem by the authority of the chief priests in the law, to put all who call on the name of the Lord to death.).....

Acts9:5 And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.6 And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? And the Lord said unto him, Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told thee what thou must do.

Acts9:15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.

Acts 9:19 And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus.20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.

Acts 9:27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus..

The transformation of apostle Paul and the difference in what he NOW DOES, is so important that it is repeatedly witnessed.

Paul recalls how the Lord says to him to arise and go into Damascus, and THERE IT SHALL BE TOLD TO PAUL OF ALL THIGNS WHICH ARE APPOINTED FOR HIM TO DO.

Paul was told, the god of their fathers had chosen Paul, for Paul to know the will of Jesus Christ and to see that just One, and that Paul should hear the voice of His mouth. ( FALSE PROPHETS HEAR NOTHING, BELIEVE IN NOTHING, FOLLOW NOTHING, HEAR AND SPEAK VANITY AND DECEIT.)....

Acts22:10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord? And the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Damascus; and there it shall be told thee of all things which are appointed for thee to do.

Acts 22:14 And he said, The God of our fathers hath chosen thee, that thou shouldest know his will, and see that Just One, and shouldest hear the voice of his mouth.

Paul answers against what those in the law and who are not of faith call as heresy, that Paul is now WORSHIPPING ( WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH.) the God of his fathers, having hope towards God of what those in the law do allow for, for a resurrection of the dead, both of the JUST, and UNJUST, and in this, apostle Paul EXERCISES HIMSELF TO HAVE ALWAYS A CONSCIENCE VOID OF OFFENCE TOWARD GOD AND TOWARD MEN. ( all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this, to love your neighbour as yourself.)....

Acts 24:14 But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.16 And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void to offence toward God, and toward men.

Paul preaches before the kings, that it should not be too incredible a thing for God to raise the dead, as before this Paul had also thought he should DO MANY THIGNS CONTRARY TO THE NAME OF JESUSOF NAZARETH, shutting up the saints in Jerusalem, having received authority from the chief priests, ( those in the law or anyone against the faith) and when they were put to death he had given his voice against them.

Paul repeats again the same testimony, for Paul to get on his feet as Jesus tells Paul why He appeared to him, for THIS PURPOSE, to make Paul A MINISTER, and a witness of the things which he has seen, and of what Jesus would appear to apostle Paul for.

Delivering Paul from the people of Israel in the law, or from the Gentiles who also were against the good Paul would now be preaching and doing, which is to OPEN THEIR EYES, AND TO TURN THEM FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT, FROM THE POWER OF SATAN UNTO GOD, THAT THEY MAY RECEIVE FORGIVENESS OF SINS AND INHERITANCE AMONG THEM WHICH ARE SANCTIFIED THROUGH FAITH WHICH IS IN JESUS.

Apostle Paul was NOT DISOBEDIENT UNTO THE HEAVENLY VISION, but showed first unto those in Damascus, and then at Jerusalem also, through all Judea, then to the Gentiles, THAT THEY SHOULD ( LIKE PAUL AS WE SEE) REPENT AND TURN TO GOD AND DO WORKS WORTHY FOR REPENTANCE.

( from the power of Satan which is death/dead works, to the power of God/the power of an endless life/the works that Jesus Christ our Lord fulfilled/being risen FROM THE DEAD, to destroy the works of the devil who had the POWER OVER DEATH. 1 John 3:8. Hebrews 9:14. 2:14. 7:16.)...

Acts 26:8 Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?9 I verily thought with myself, that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.10 Which thing I also did in Jerusalem: and many of the saints did I shut up in prison, having received authority from the chief priests; and when they were put to death, I gave my voice against them.

Acts26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance....

1 John 3:^(8) He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;

Hebrews 7:16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.

The mystery of Christ hidden from the foundation of the world is not the law, it is the faith to be REVEALED.

Here is a link, showing how the same men of Israel, did not believe the truth when they heard it, who were men in the law, and how Jesus who is their own Messiah and creator, tells them clearly, they are not of God, and are of their father the devil, and when the devil speaks a lie, he speaks of his own self, as he is a liar and the father of it.

Now the link, WHO IS A LIAR, but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ. He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son.

The antichrist spirit only appears after Jesus Christ our Lord is risen from the dead, because man is saved by the righteous belief that Jesus Christ has risen from the dead, and the liar is the SAME as Jesus identifies, it is those who did not beleve in Jesus, and were the men of Israel in the law.....

John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.46 Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?47 He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

1 John 2:22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son...

All the world knows that apostle Paul was mysteriously called on the road to Damascus by Jesus Himself.

Here is the link again.

Jesus had declared how all things are delivered unto Him of the father, ( which the antichrist spirit denies the Son and the Father.) and how no man knows the Father, save he to whom the Son will reveal Him.

The link is that apostle Paul certifies this to us, how Paul had not received the gospel by man, not even any man at all, ( as of the circumcision made without hands/the circumcision of Christ, as the worshipping of God in Spirit and truth, as those born of God are as the wind that comes and goes and no man is aware of it.) Paul was not taught it, ( AS THE LAW WAS OUR SCHOOL MASTER.) but this time ALL IS BY REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.

Paul shows how he was in the men of Israels RELIGION, ( THE LAW.) and Paul was zealous of the tradtitions of his fathers, but it pleased God to call Paul by His grace, TO REVEAL HIS SON IN HIM, so Paul might prerach Jesus among the heathen...

Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:...

Apostle Paul has to preach among the heathen as we just heard, and preaches to those in Rome, how we are delivered from the law, ( the same law that the men of Israel were in who were linked with being a liar and antichrist if anyone does not believe in the truth and stops denying the Father and the Son.) that held us dead, to serve in NEWNESS OF SPIRIT, and NOT IN THE OLDNESS OF THE LETTER.

The law had said we shall not covet, and Paul shows all in the law had not known sin, but by being told to not lust, but that by that commandment sin wrought all manner of lust in man, as without the law sin was dead. Sin therefore had deceived man, and then managed to kill man by the law/by the commandment. The law then is known to be holy, just, and then good.

Apostle Paul knows the law is spiritual, ( as the law had said we shall not covet.) but that man is carnal, sold under sin/to be killed by all manner of concupiscence.

Now there was no longer this same condemnation to them which are IN CHRIST JESUS, as they now WALK AFTER THE SPIRIT. It is the law of the SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS, that has made man FREE FROM THE LAW OF SIN AND DEATH. ( Sin taking occasion by the commandment/law, deceived man, and by it, killed man.)...

Romans 7:6 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.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.

Romans 7:11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me.

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death....

To the heathen, Paul also preaches about the link Jesus had pointed us towards, even before Paul was called to preach to the Gentiles, of the ones who are of their father of lies, the devil, and of the antichrist denying the Father and the Son, Paul testifies how the Galatian heathen were now bewitched, to not obey the truth, ( the same as Jesus told to the men of Israel, that because Jesus tld them the truth, they do not believe.) of the Lord Jesus Christ being SET FORTH BEFORE THEIR EYES, CRUCIFIED AMONG THEM.

There was NO LAW THAT COULD HAVE GIVEN LIFE. Righteousness CANNOT BE BY THE LAW.

The scripture in the law had CONCLUDED ALL UNDER SIN, ( as Romans 7 has testified.) so that the PROMISE BY FAITH OF JESUS CHRIST MIGHT BE GIVEN ( GRACE) TO THEM THAT BELIEVE. ( THROUGH FAITH.)

The law HAD NO FAITH IN IT, NOTHING TO DO WITH FAITH, but AFTER FAITH CAME, we were NO LONGER UNDER THE LAW, as the FAITH WAS REVEALED. ( no man can come to the Father, but whom the Son REVEALS HIM TO/APOSTLE PAUL HAD THE SON REVEALED IN HIM.) as we are JUSTIFIED BY FAITH, and when faith ( Christ) is come, ( the antichrist spirit denies that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. 1 John 4:3.) WE ARE NO LONGER UNDER A SCHOOL MASTER. ( we have One Master, no more law, even a continuing High priest, we have Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.)...

Galatians 3:1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

Galatians 3:21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

2 John 1:7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

Matthew 23:10 Neither be ye called masters: for one is your Master, even Christ.....

Continuing those links and the revelation, apostle Paul had the mystery, ( of Christ) made known to him, and in other ages IT WAS NOT MADE KNOWN UNTO THE SONS OF MEN, as it is NOW REVEALED to His holy apostles by the Spirit.

For the Gentiles to be fellow heirs and partakers of the PROMISE in Christ by the gospel, as apostle Paul was made a minister, ACCORDING TO THE GIFT OF THE GRACE OF GOD, for Paul to preach among the Gentiles the UNKNOWN RICHES OF CHRIST, for all men to see the FELLOWSHIP OF THE MYSTERY, which FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE WORLD HAD BEEN HID IN GOD. ( those of the law never knew, never knew even that faith had not come to them.)...

Ephesians 3:3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;6 That the Gentiles should be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel:7 Whereof I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power.8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ;9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:...

The commandment and the end of it, ( nothing to be added from any law teaching and likewise those who teach NOT BY WORKS.) is CHARITY OUT OF A PURE HEART, of a good conscience ( FAITH UNFEIGNED.)

Some swerve aside from this, they do so to be TEACHERS OF THE LAW, who UNDERSYAND NEITHER HAT THEY SAY, NOR WHAT THEY AFFIRM.

Paul understands the mystery of Christ hidden from the foundation of the world, knowing that the law was made not for the righteous man, but for the unholy, for liars, for all that are against sound doctrine, which is all that is AGAINST THE GLORIOUS GOSPEL OF THE BLESSED GOD, which was COMMITED TO THE TRUST OF THE APOSTLE PAUL. ( the true riches, and not the law, as it is DUNG.) Paul thanks the Lord Jesus Christ who ENABLED HIM, putting him into the ministry, as Paul was a persecutor, ( the same as the men of Israel in the law persecuted the Lord Jesus Christ.) but he OBTAINED MERCY, ( GRACE.) because he did it IGNORANTLY IN UNBELIEF. ( IN THE LAW.)...

1 Timothy 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned:6 From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling;7 Desiring to be teachers of the law; understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers,10 For whoremongers, for them that defile themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine;11 According to the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was committed to my trust.12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief...

Now we know very well by now, how we heard that Paul has the Son of God revealed to him, and this being the ONLY WAY FOR ANYONE, and how Paul also in the traditions of the fathers, was zealous in the law, to be foolish, ( the wisdom of this world.) disobedient, DECEIVED, ( recall how sin had deceived and killed as per Romans 7.) and how the outcome was man served lusts, ( again as in the law. Romans 7.) but then after faith came, after the kindness and love of God our Saviour APPEARED TOWARD MAN, ( NOT BY WORKS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH WE HAVE DONE, BUT ACCORDING TO HIS MERCY HE SAVED US, the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost.) through Jesus Christ our Saviour, being JUSTIFIED BY GRACE, MADE HERIS, ( fellow heirs according to the mystery kept since the foundation of the world/unknown to those in the law, and to those who do not hear the end of the commandment of charity out of a pure heart.) according to the HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE. ( faith hope and charity, in the PROMISED HOPE in our Lord Jesus Christ by His resurrection from the dead.)....

Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life....

More link, how Paul shows his heritage in the law, and having the righteousness, which is in the law, of those in the law's persecution of those in the church.

Those things ( OF THE LAW) were gain unto Paul, and had to count them as losing for Christ, and counted all things LOST for the EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD, suffering the loss of all things and counting them BUT DUNG, ( THE LAW) that WE MAY WIN CHRIST, and be FOUND IN HIM, NOT HAVING OUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF THE LAW, but that which is THROUGH THE FAITH OF CHRIST, the RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS OF GOD BY FAITH, to know Him/THE POWER OF HIS RESURRECTION, the FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS, made conformable unto His death, by any means to ATTAIN UNTO THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD. ( saved by righteous belief in the heart of Christs rising, and NOT BY HAVING OUR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS WHICH IS BY THE LAW, AND WE CANNOT PLACE THESE TWO OPPOSING ANTIS, TOGETHER.)

Paul had said he was ignorant, in UNBELIEF, now hear again all that come cnstantly teaching law, or no works, as this is the same anti's, being IGNORANT OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS, going about to ESTABLISH THEIR OWN RIGHTEOUSNESS, this is the NON SUBMITTING unto the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD. ( Chist is the END OF THE LAW FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS/the end of the commandment is CHARITY OUT OF A PURE HEART/HEARTS PURIFIED THROUGH FAITH and the ending link is, THIS IS WHY APOSTLE PAUL IS CHOSEN TO BE BOTH TO ISRAEL AND TO THE GENTILES.)..

Philippians 3:5 Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee;6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Romans 10:3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

Acts 15:9 And put no difference between us and them, purifying their hearts by faith.
