The Christian Life Part I
The Christian and the Moral Law
So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.
A man is unable to earn his salvation by keeping the Law perfectly ]
For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.
For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.
and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. What then? Are we to sin because we are not under law but under grace? By no means!
obeyed by believers as the evidence and fruit of salvation, not the means of it.
Do we then overthrow the law by this faith? By no means! On the contrary, we uphold the law.
For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.

Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.
We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.
Romans
For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.
But take care that this right of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak. For if anyone sees you who have knowledge eating in an idol’s temple, will he not be encouraged, if his conscience is weak, to eat food offered to idols? And so by your knowledge this weak person is destroyed, the brother for whom Christ died. Thus, sinning against your brothers and wounding their conscience when it is weak, you sin against Christ. Therefore, if food makes my brother stumble, I will never eat meat, lest I make my brother stumble.
