[Elsie]

Did you not read verse ...

Are you off subject?

 

Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

[Petrosius]

Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

Works of the Mosaic Law. Why do you keep ignoring this point. Paul makes this clear in verse 17, which you seem to ignore. And since he also says that continuing in sin can bar us from the kingdom of God, keeping the moral law is also needed in addition to faith. Another point you keep ignoring.
