Galatians 3:24 Cross References - Worsley

²⁴ So that the law was our guide to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

¹⁷ Think not that I am come to abrogate the law, or the prophets: I am not come to abolish, but to compleat them: ¹⁸ for verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot nor one tittle shall pass from the law, till all be compleated.

³⁸ Be it known therefore unto you, brethren, that through Him is preached unto you the remission of sins: ³⁹ and by Him every one that believeth is justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.

²⁰ Wherefore by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified before Him: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. ²¹ But now, without the law, righteousness before God is manifested, being attested by the law and the prophets; ²² and this righteousness of God is by faith in Jesus Christ unto all and upon all believers; for there is no difference;

⁷ What shall we say then? is the law sin? God forbid! Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust to be sinful, if the law had not said, "Thou shalt not covet." ⁸ But sin taking occasion by the commandment wrought in me all manner of concupiscence: for without the law sin was dead. ⁹ And I was heretofore alive without the law: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died:

²⁴ Wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from this body of death? ²⁵ The grace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with my mind I serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.

⁴ For Christ is the end of the law, for righteousness to every believer.

¹⁵ for if ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet ye have not many fathers; for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you by the gospel.

¹⁶ knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

¹⁹ that I might live unto God.

²⁵ But now faith is come we are no longer under a pedagogue.

² but is under guardians and managers till the time appointed by the father. ³ So we when we were children, were in servitude under the elements of the world:

¹⁷ which are a shadow of good things to come, but the body is of Christ.

¹⁸ For there is indeed a disannulling of the preceding command, on account of it's weakness and unprofitableness; ¹⁹ for the law made nothing perfect, but the introducing of a better hope did, by which we draw near to God.

⁸ The Holy Ghost shewing by this, that the way into the Holy of holies was not yet manifested, the first tabernacle being yet standing. ⁹ Which figure remains to the present time, wherein gifts and sacrifices are offered, that cannot perfect the worshipper as to his conscience, ¹⁰ relating only to meats and drinks, and different washings, and such carnal ordinances as were required till the time of reformation. ¹¹ But Christ being come an high-priest of the good things to come, hath entered once for all into the holy places, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is, not of this building, ¹² nor by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption for us. ¹³ For if the blood of bulls and goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purification of the flesh; ¹⁴ how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself spotless to God, purify your conscience from dead works, that ye may serve the living God? ¹⁵ And on this account He is the mediator of a new covenant, that undergoing death for the redemption of transgressions against the first covenant, they that are called might receive the promise of an eternal inheritance. ¹⁶ For where a testament is, there is a necessity of proving the death of the testator.

¹ For the law having but a faint shadow of good things to come, and not the full image of the things, can never, even by the great annual sacrifices which they offer statedly, make the comers thereunto perfect. ² For then they would have ceased to be offered, because the sacrificers, being once purified, would no longer retain any consciousness of sins. ³ Whereas in these very sacrifices there is a recalling of sins to mind every year. ⁴ For it is impossible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. ⁵ Wherefore upon his coming into the world He saith, "Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire, but a body hast thou prepared me: ⁶ in whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hadst no pleasure: ⁷ then said I, Lo I come, as in the volume of the book it is written of me, to do thy will, O God." ⁸ Having said before, "Thou didst not desire, nor hadst pleasure in, sacrifice and offering, and whole burnt-offerings, and sacrifices for sin," (which are offered by the law) then He adds, ⁹ "Lo I come to do thy will, O God." (He taketh away the first, that He may establish the second.) ¹⁰ By which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ And indeed every priest under the law standeth daily ministring, and frequently offering the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: ¹² but He having offered one sacrifice for sins, is for ever sat down at the right hand of God; ¹³ waiting for the future, till his enemies be put under his feet. ¹⁴ For by one offering He hath perfected for ever those that are sanctified.
