John 5:45 Cross References - ISV

⁴⁵ Do not suppose that I will be the one to accuse you before the Father. Your accuser is Moses, on whom you have set your hope,

⁷ They asked him, “Why, then, did Moses order us ‘to give a certificate of divorce and divorce her’?”
⁸ He told them, “It was because of your hardness of heart that Moses allowed you to divorce your wives. But from the beginning it was not this way.

¹⁹ Moses gave you the Law, didn’t he? Yet none of you is keeping the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

⁵ Now in the Law, Moses commanded us to stone such women to death. What do you say?” ⁶ They said this to test him, so that they might have a charge against him. But Jesus bent down and began to write on the ground with his finger.

⁹ When they heard this, they went away one by one, beginning with the oldest, and he was left alone with the woman standing there.

²⁸ At this, they turned on him in fury and said, “You are his disciple, but we are disciples of Moses! ²⁹ We know that God has spoken to Moses, but we do not know where this fellow comes from.”

¹² For all who have sinned apart from the Law will also perish apart from the Law, and all who have sinned under the Law will be judged by the Law.

¹⁷ Who is a Jew?Now if you call yourself a Jew, and rely on the Law, and boast about God, ¹⁸ and know his will, and approve of what is best because you have been instructed in the Law; ¹⁹ and if you are convinced that you are a guide for the blind, a light to those in darkness, ²⁰ an instructor of ignorant people, and a teacher of infants because you have the full content of knowledge and truth in the Law— ²¹ as you teach others, do you fail to teach yourself? As you preach against stealing, do you steal? ²² As you forbid adultery, do you commit adultery? As you abhor idols, do you rob temples? ²³ As you boast about the Law, do you dishonor God by breaking the Law? ²⁴ As it is written, “God’s name is being blasphemed among the gentiles because of you.”
²⁵ For circumcision is valuable if you observe the Law, but if you break the Law, your having been circumcised has no more value than if you were uncircumcised. ²⁶ So if a man who is uncircumcised keeps the requirements of the Law, his uncircumcision will be regarded as circumcision, won’t it? ²⁷ The man who is uncircumcised physically but who keeps the Law will condemn you who break the Law, even though you have the written Law and circumcision. ²⁸ For a person is not a Jew because of his appearance, nor is circumcision something just external and physical. ²⁹ No, a person is a Jew inwardly, and circumcision is a matter of the heart, brought about by the Spirit, not by a written law. That person’s praise will come from God, not from people.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever the Law says applies to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be silenced and the whole world held accountable to God. ²⁰ Therefore, God will not justify any human being by means of the actions prescribed by the Law, for through the Law comes the full knowledge of sin.

⁹ At one time I was alive without any connection to the Law. But when the rule was revealed, sin sprang to life, ¹⁰ and I died. I found that the very rule that was intended to bring life actually brought death. ¹¹ For sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the rule, deceived me and used it to kill me. ¹² So then, the Law itself is holy, and the rule is holy, just, and good.
¹³ The Problem of the Sin that Lives in UsNow, did something good bring me death? Of course not! But in order that sin might be recognized as being sin, it used something good to cause my death, so that through the rule, sin might become more exposed as being sinful than ever before. ¹⁴ For we know that the Law is spiritual, but I am merely human, sold as a slave to sin.

⁵ For Moses writes about the righteousness that comes from the Law as follows: “The person who obeys these things will find life by them.” ⁶ But the righteousness that comes from faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will go up to heaven?’ (that is, to bring the Messiah down), ⁷ or ‘Who will go down into the depths?’ (that is, to bring the Messiah back from the dead).”
⁸ But what does it say? “The message is near you. It is in your mouth and in your heart.” This is the message about faith that we are proclaiming: ⁹ If you declare with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For one believes with his heart and is justified, and declares with his mouth and is saved.

⁷ Now if the ministry of death that was inscribed in letters of stone came with such glory that the people of Israel could not gaze on Moses’ face (because the glory was fading away from it), ⁸ will not the Spirit’s ministry have even more glory? ⁹ For if the ministry of condemnation has glory, then the ministry of justification has an overwhelming glory. ¹⁰ In fact, that which once had glory lost its glory, because the other glory surpassed it. ¹¹ For if that which fades away came through glory, how much more does that which is permanent have glory?

¹⁰ No One is Justified by the LawCertainly all who depend on the actions of the Law are under a curse. For it is written, “A curse on everyone who does not obey everything that is written in the Book of the Law!”
