"I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!"
if righteousness could be gained through the law
Galatians 3:21-22 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Galatians 2:17 "If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!"
Romans 7:12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
Romans 11:32 For God has bound all men over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all.
