Without the Law the Gospel has no power,
______________________________________
Scripture please
from the Christian Bible...
Book, chapter and verse identified please...
And here I thought it was Jesus that was power....the power to overcome sin on our behalf.
Pretty sure that Grace trumps the Law.

What in my statement do you object to?
Because there are several answers I can draw from Scripture, but I want to make sure that I address your concerns.
I mean, in Galatians chapter 3, Paul says that Jesus saved us from the curse of the Law. If there was no Law, there would be no punishment to save us from, and no need of the Gospel that saves us. That’s the simplest answer I can give, but it’s probably not what you want to hear.
A deeper answer would be that the Law of God is His will for our lives. It is the teaching of the Lord of the ways that we should walk. (Of course, I’m not speaking about the civil laws that were in Leviticus and the like, but that’s another matter. We can pay attention to those to see the mind of God, but nearly all of those were pointing forward to Jesus and so are fulfilled.) The Law of God—shown in the Ten Commandments—is an outline for the perfect life that pleases Him.
We are saved from the curse that the Law brings by the Gospel, but what does the Gospel save us from? What does the Gospel save us FOR? Ephesians 2:10, Paul says that we are created in Christ Jesus FOR good works, and what are good works if not fulfillment of God’s Law? And how can we do them but by the power of the Gospel?
I could go on for a while here, but before I make this a tl;dr post, I’ll let you respond and tell me if I addressed your worry/concern/whatever-it-was.
