Galatians 4:31Therefore, brothers, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman.Ephesians 2:15by abolishing in His flesh the law of commandments and decrees. He did this to create in Himself one new man out of the two, thus making peaceColossians 2:14having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross!Colossians 2:15And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.Colossians 2:16Therefore let no one judge you by what you eat or drink, or with regard to a feast, a New Moon, or a Sabbath.Colossians 2:17These are a shadow of the things to come, but the body that casts it belongs to Christ.Colossians 2:18Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you with speculation about what he has seen. Such a person is puffed up without basis by his unspiritual mind.Colossians 2:19He has lost connection to the head, from whom the whole body, supported and knit together by its joints and ligaments, grows as God causes it to grow.Colossians 2:20If you have died with Christ to the spiritual forces of the world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its regulations:Colossians 2:21“Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!”?Colossians 2:22These will all perish with use, because they are based on human commands and teachings.Colossians 2:23Such restrictions indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-prescribed worship, their false humility, and their harsh treatment of the body; but they are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.1 Timothy 1:5The goal of our instruction is the love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and a sincere faith.1 Timothy 1:8Now we know that the law is good, if one uses it legitimately.1 Timothy 1:9We realize that law is not enacted for the righteous, but for the lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for killers of father or mother, for murderers,1 Timothy 1:10for the sexually immoral, for homosexuals, for slave traders and liars and perjurers, and for anyone else who is averse to sound teachingHebrews 2:2For if the message spoken by angels was binding, and every transgression and disobedience received its just punishment,Hebrews 8:4Now if He were on earth, He would not be a priest, since there are already priests who offer gifts according to the law.Hebrews 8:5The place where they serve is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”Hebrews 8:6Now, however, Jesus has received a much more excellent ministry, just as the covenant He mediates is better and is founded on better promises.Hebrews 8:7For if that first covenant had been without fault, no place would have been sought for a second.Hebrews 8:8But God found fault with the people and said: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.Hebrews 8:9It will not be like the covenant I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, because they did not abide by My covenant, and I disregarded them, declares the Lord.Hebrews 8:10For this is the covenant I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their minds and inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they will be My people.Hebrews 8:11No longer will each one teach his neighbor or his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.Hebrews 8:12For I will forgive their iniquities and will remember their sins no more.”Hebrews 8:13By speaking of a new covenant, He has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and aging will soon disappear.Hebrews 9:8By this arrangement the Holy Spirit was showing that the way into the Most Holy Place had not yet been disclosed as long as the first tabernacle was still standing.Hebrews 9:9It is an illustration for the present time, because the gifts and sacrifices being offered were unable to cleanse the conscience of the worshiper.Hebrews 9:10They consist only in food and drink and special washings—external regulations imposed until the time of reform.Hebrews 9:11But when Christ came as high priest of the good things that have come, He went through the greater and more perfect tabernacle that is not made by hands and is not a part of this creation.Hebrews 9:12He did not enter by the blood of goats and calves, but He entered the Most Holy Place once for all by His own blood, thus securing eternal redemption.Hebrews 9:13For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that their bodies are clean,Hebrews 9:14how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself unblemished to God, purify our consciences from works of death, so that we may serve the living God!Hebrews 9:15Therefore Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, so that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance, now that He has died to redeem them from the transgressions committed under the first covenant.Hebrews 9:16In the case of a will, it is necessary to establish the death of the one who made it,Hebrews 9:17because a will does not take effect until the one who made it has died; it cannot be executed while he is still alive.Hebrews 9:18That is why even the first covenant was not put into effect without blood.Hebrews 9:19For when Moses had proclaimed every commandment of the law to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, along with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled the scroll and all the people,Hebrews 9:20saying, “This is the blood of the covenant, which God has commanded you to keep.”Hebrews 9:21In the same way, he sprinkled with blood the tabernacle and all the vessels used in worship.Hebrews 9:22According to the law, in fact, nearly everything must be purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.Hebrews 9:23So it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these sacrifices, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.Hebrews 9:24For Christ did not enter a man-made copy of the true sanctuary, but He entered heaven itself, now to appear on our behalf in the presence of God.Hebrews 10:1For the law is only a shadow of the good things to come, not the realities themselves. It can never, by the same sacrifices offered year after year, make perfect those who draw near to worship.Hebrews 10:2If it could, would not the offerings have ceased? For the worshipers would have been cleansed once for all, and would no longer have felt the guilt of their sins.Hebrews 10:3Instead, those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins,Hebrews 10:4because it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.Hebrews 10:5Therefore, when Christ came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, but a body You prepared for Me.Hebrews 10:6In burnt offerings and sin offerings You took no delight.Hebrews 10:7Then I said, ‘Here I am, it is written about Me in the scroll: I have come to do Your will, O God.’”Hebrews 10:8In the passage above He says, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings You did not desire, nor did You delight in them” (although they are offered according to the law).Hebrews 10:9Then He adds, “Here I am, I have come to do Your will.” He takes away the first to establish the second.Hebrews 10:10And by that will, we have been sanctified through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.Hebrews 10:11Day after day every priest stands to minister and to offer again and again the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.Hebrews 10:12But when this Priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, He sat down at the right hand of God.Hebrews 10:13Since that time, He waits for His enemies to be made a footstool for His feet,Hebrews 10:14because by a single offering He has made perfect for all time those who are being sanctified.Hebrews 10:15The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First He says:Hebrews 10:16“This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, declares the Lord. I will put My laws in their hearts and inscribe them on their minds.”
