vii: 19. Again, in his epistle to the Galatians, his phraseology is somewhat changed, but the argument is to the same point, although some passages read as though every vestage of _law_ was swept by the board when Jesus hung upon the cross. For instance, such as the following:
gpt
But that no man is justified by the _law_ in the sight of God it is evident, for the just shall live by faith, and the LAW is not of faith, but the man that doeth them shall live by them.

Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the _law_, being made a curse for us.
gpt
But before faith came we were kept under the _law_, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
human
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith, but after that faith has come we are no longer under a schoolmaster. Gal. iii: 11-13, 23-25. Again:
gpt
For as many as are of the works of the _law_ are under the curse. 10v. Now are we to understand from these texts that whosoever continueth in the _law_ is cursed, and that the law, _the whole law_, was abolished when Christ came as our schoolmaster, he being the

Rom. x: 4. If so, how is it possible for any man, even Paul himself, to be saved.

For _all_ the LAW is FULFILLED in one word, even this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. v: 14. Surely he is quoting the Saviour's words in Matt. xxii: 39, relative to the commandment of the Lord our God. To his son Timothy he says:

Now the end of the commandment is charity, (love) meaning of course the _last_ part of the ten commandments. In vi: 2, he says:
gpt
Bear ye one anothers burdens and so fulfil the _law_ of Christ. Does this differ from the _law_ God? Yes, a little, for it is the new commandment, (some say the eleventh.) See John xiii: 34.
human
A new commandment I give unto you, (what is it, Lord?) that ye love one another. And also xx: 12. The other is to love our neighbor as ourself. John says:
gpt
And this commandment have we from him (Christ,) that he who loveth God loveth his brother [22]also. John iv: 21, and ii: 8-11. In his letter to the Ephesians he says:

Having abolished in his flesh the _enmity_ even the law of commandments contained in ordinances. ii: 15. See the reverse. vi: 2. To the Colossians he asks,
