Divine Law Required

 And behold, a certain lawyer stood up tempting Jesus,

and saying:

Teacher, having done what, shall I inherit life eternal?

And he said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou? *

But he answering said:

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God

with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thine understanding;

and thy neighbour as thyself.

And he said to him:

Thou hast answered right:

this do and thou shalt live.

(Luke 10:25-28)

* "And ye shall observe my statutes and my judgments, by which the man that doeth them shall live: I am Jehovah." (Leviticus 18:5)

Divine Law impraticable

 For it is written;

Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things

which are written in the book of the law to do them; *

car il est écrit:

(Galatians 3:10)

For whoever shall keep the whole law and shall offend in one point,

he has come under the guilt of breaking all.

(James 2:10)

 * "Cursed be he that confirmeth not the words of this law to do them! And all the people shall say, Amen." (Deutéronome 27:26)

The proposed Grace

 In the beginning was the Word,

and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God...

And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us

(and we have contemplated his glory, a glory as of an only-begotten with a father),

full of grace and truth;

(John 1:1-14)

 He that believes on the Son has life eternal,

(John 3:36)

 We reckon that a man is justified by faith,

without works of law.

(Romans 3:28)

For as many as are

on the principle

of works of law

are under curse.

Galatians 3:10

Grace received by faith

 Lord, to whom shall we go?

thou hast words of life eternal;

and we have believed and known

that thou art the holy one of God.

(John 6:68)

 The faith of the Son of God, who has loved me and given himself for me.

(Galatians 2:20)

 And [Jesus] said to her: Thy sins are forgiven.

  And [Jesus] said to the woman: Thy faith has saved thee; go in peace.

(Luke 7:48-50)
