So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
Moses writes about the righteousness that is by the law: “The person who does these things will live by them.”
because the law brings wrath; for where there is no law, there is no transgression.
Once I was alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came to life and I died.
Now if the ministry of death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not gaze at the face of Moses because of its glory (a glory that was fading away),
But the law is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The person who does these things will live by them.”
