Rom. 3:28-30. 5. The just shall live by faith, not by works. Gal. 3:11; Hab. 2:4. 6. Faith does not make the law void, we are to keep it through his grace. Rom. 3:31. 7. It is our faith that makes us righteous, not our works. Rom. 4:5. 8. Law keeping cannot make us righteous, only God's pardon can. John. 3:16. 9.
