Romans 5:20
And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

Romans 5:20
And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:
--------------------
Romans 5:21
That, as sin had power in death, so grace might have power through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 3:24
And they may have righteousness put to their credit, freely, by his grace, through the salvation which is in Christ Jesus:
Romans 3:25
Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;
John 10:10
The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.
John 1:14
And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.
John 1:17
For the law was given through Moses; grace and the true way of life are ours through Jesus Christ.
Romans 3:21
But now without the law there is a revelation of the righteousness of God, to which witness is given by the law and the prophets;
Romans 3:27
What reason, then, is there for pride? It is shut out. By what sort of law? of works? No, but by a law of faith.
Romans 3:28
For this reason, then, a man may get righteousness by faith without the works of the law.
Hebrews 6:17
So that when it was God's desire to make it specially clear to those who by his word were to have the heritage, that his purpose was fixed, he made it more certain with an oath;
2 Peter 1:4
And through this he has given us the hope of great rewards highly to be valued; so that by them we might have our part in God's being, and be made free from the destruction which is in the world through the desires of the flesh.
1 John 2:2
He is the offering for our sins; and not for ours only, but for all the world.
-----
Galatians 3:19
What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.
Romans 7:6
But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.
Romans 7:7
What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.
Romans 7:9
And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;
Romans 7:13
Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.
1 Corinthians 15:56
The pain of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:
2 Corinthians 3:7
For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:
2 Corinthians 3:8
Will not the operation of the Spirit have a much greater glory?
2 Corinthians 3:9
For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness?
Galatians 3:22
However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.
John 15:22
If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.
Galatians 3:17
Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect.
-----
Romans 5:12
For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:
Romans 5:13
Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.
Romans 5:14
But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.
Romans 5:15
But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.
Romans 5:16
And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.
Romans 5:17
For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:18
So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.
Romans 5:19
Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;
Ephesians 2:7
That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:
Romans 2:4
Or is it nothing to you that God had pity on you, waiting and putting up with you for so long, not seeing that in his pity God's desire is to give you a change of heart?
1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
Psalms 31:19
O how great is your grace, which you have put in store for your worshippers, and which you have made clear to those who had faith in you, before the sons of men!
Matthew 1:21

John 3:16
For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.
-----
Romans 3:19
Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:
Romans 3:20
Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.
Romans 6:1
What may we say, then? are we to go on in sin so that there may be more grace?
Romans 6:14
For sin may not have rule over you: because you are not under law, but under grace.
Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.
Galatians 2:16
Being conscious that a man does not get righteousness by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ, we had faith in Christ Jesus, so that we might get righteousness by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: because by the works of the law will no flesh get righteousness.
Galatians 3:11
Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.
1 Timothy 1:9
With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,
James 1:15
Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.
Romans 7:17
So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.
Romans 11:32
For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.
Galatians 3:13
Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:
-----
1 Timothy 1:14
And the grace of our Lord was very great, with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1 Timothy 1:15
It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:
1 Timothy 1:16
But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.
Ephesians 2:8
Because by grace you have salvation through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is given by God:
Ephesians 2:9
Not by works, so that no man may take glory to himself.
Ephesians 2:10
For by his act we were given existence in Christ Jesus to do those good works which God before made ready for us so that we might do them.
Titus 3:4
But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,
Titus 3:5
Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,
Titus 3:6
Which he gave us freely through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
Titus 3:7
So that, having been given righteousness through grace, we might have a part in the heritage, the hope of eternal life.
Deuteronomy 9:6
Be certain then that the Lord your God is not giving you this good land as a reward for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.
