We know that whatever the law says, it says to those who are governed by the law. Its purpose is to silence every excuse and hold the whole world accountable to God.
All who rely on obeying the law are under a curse. It is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
Ever since the world was created, the invisible qualities of God have been visible in everything he has made. Those qualities are his eternal power and his nature as God. So people have no excuse for what they do.
Those who heard what he had said began to go away one at a time. The older ones left first, and then the younger ones. Finally, only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
Not at all! Let God be true, even if every human being is a liar. As it is written, “So that you may be proved right when you speak and the courts may decide in your favor.”
