Romans 10:5

Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: "The person who does these things will live by them."

Leviticus 18:5  " 'Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.' " 

Deuteronomy 4:1  Now, Israel, hear the decrees and laws I am about to teach you. Follow them so that you may live and may go in and take possession of the land the LORD, the God of your ancestors, is giving you.

Deuteronomy 6:24  "The LORD commanded us to obey all these decrees and to fear the LORD our God, so that we might always prosper and be kept alive, as is the case today."

Nehemiah 9:29  "You warned them in order to turn them back to your law, but they became arrogant and disobeyed your commands. They sinned against your ordinances, of which you said, 'The person who obeys them will live by them.' Stubbornly they turned their backs on you, became stiff-necked and refused to listen."

Proverbs 19:16  Whoever keeps commandments keeps their life, but whoever shows contempt for their ways will die. 

Isaiah 55:3  "Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live. I will make an everlasting covenant with you, my faithful love promised to David."

Ezekiel 20:11  " 'I gave them my decrees and made known to them my laws, by which the person who obeys them will live.' "

Ezekiel 20:13  " 'Yet the people of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness. They did not follow my decrees but rejected my laws--by which the person who obeys them will live--and they utterly desecrated my Sabbaths.' " 

Ezekiel 20:21  " 'But the children rebelled against me: They did not follow my decrees, they were not careful to keep my laws, of which I said, "The person who obeys them will live by them," and they desecrated my Sabbaths. So I said I would pour out my wrath on them and spend my anger against them in the wilderness.' " 

Romans 7:10  I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.

Luke 10:26-28  "What is written in the Law?" he (Jesus) replied. "How do you read it?" He (an expert in the law) answered, " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind' (Deuteronomy 6:5); and 'Love  your neighbor as yourself.' (Leviticus 19:18)"  "You have answered correctly," Jesus replied. "Do this and you will live." 

Galatians 3:12  The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, "The person who does these things will live by them."
