Torah: The Law of Moses

Matthew 5:20 "For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the
teachers of the Law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."
Luke 2:22 And when the days for their purification according to the Law of Moses were completed,
they brought Him up to Jerusalem to present Him to the Lord.
Luke 16:16 The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the
kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.
John 1:17 For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus
Christ.
John 7:19 "Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you
seek to kill Me?"
John 7:23 "If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be
broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?
John 8:5 "Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?"
Acts 13:38-39 "Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is
proclaimed to you, and through Him everyone who believes is freed from all things, from which you
could not be freed through the Law of Moses.

Acts 15:5 But some of the sect of the

Pharisees who had believed stood up,
saying, It is necessary to circumcise them
and to direct them to observe the Law of
Moses."
Acts 18:12-13 The Jews with one accord
rose up against Paul and brought him
before the judgment seat, saying, This man
persuades men to worship God contrary to
the Law.
Acts 21:21 and they have been told about
you, that you are teaching all the Jews who
are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses,
telling them not to circumcise their
children nor to walk according to the
customs.
Acts 28:23 When they had set a day for
Paul, they came to him at his lodging in
large numbers; and he was explaining to
them by solemnly testifying about the
kingdom of God and trying to persuade
them concerning Jesus, from both the Law
of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.
Romans 2:23 As you brag about the Laws in Moses' Teachings, are you dishonoring God by ignoring
Moses' Teachings?
Romans 2:27 The uncircumcised man who carries out what Moses' Teachings say will condemn you
for not following them. He will condemn you in spite of the fact that you are circumcised and have
Moses' Teachings in writing.
Romans 2:29 But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by
the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.
Romans 3:19-22 Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the
Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God; not one
person can have God's approval by following Moses' Teachings. Moses' Teachings show what sin is.
But now, apart from the Law, God's righteousness is revealed and is attested by the Law and the
Prophets-even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe;
Romans 3:28 For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law.
Romans 3:31 Are we abolishing Moses' Teachings by this faith? That's unthinkable! Rather, we are
supporting Moses' Teachings.
Romans 4:13-16 For the promise to Abraham or to his descendants that he would be heir of the

world was not through the Law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if those who are of the
Law are heirs, faith is made void and the promise is nullified; for the Law brings about wrath, but
where there is no Law, neither is there violation.
Romans 6:14 For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under Law, but under grace.
Romans 7: 4-6 Therefore, my brethren, you also were made to die to the Law through the body of
Christ, that you might be joined to another, to Him who was raised from the dead, that we might
bear fruit for God. For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the
Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death. But now we have been
released from the Law, having died to that by which we were bound, so that we serve in newness of
the Spirit and not in oldness of the letter.
Romans 7:7 What should we say, then? Are Moses' Laws sinful? That's unthinkable! In fact, I
wouldn't have recognized sin if those laws hadn't shown it to me. For example, I wouldn't have
known that some desires are sinful if Moses' Teachings hadn't said, "Never have wrong desires."
Romans 8:2-4 For the Law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the Law of sin and
of death. For what the Law could not do, weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own
Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, in order
that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh, but
according to the Spirit.
Romans 10:5 For Moses writes that the man who practices the righteousness which is based on Law
shall live by that righteousness.
Romans 13:8-10 Owe nothing to anyone except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor
has fulfilled the Law.
Romans 14:1-2 "Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing
judgment on his opinions. One man has faith that he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats
vegetables only."
Romans 14:14 I know and am convinced in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself; but to him
who thinks anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean."
Romans 14:17 For God's kingdom does not consist of food and drink, but of righteousness, peace,
and joy produced by the Holy Spirit.
Romans 14:20 "Do not tear down the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are clean,
but they are evil for the man who eats and gives offense."
Romans 14:23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because his eating is not from faith; and
whatever is not from faith is sin."
1 Corinthians 9:9 For it is written in the Law of Moses, 'YOU SHALL NOT MUZZLE THE OX WHILE
HE IS THRESHING.' God is not concerned about oxen, is He?
1 Corinthians 9:20 I became Jewish for Jewish people. I became subject to Moses' Teachings for
those who are subject to those laws. I did this to win them even though I'm not subject to Moses'
Teachings.

1 Corinthians 15:56-57 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the Law; but thanks be to
God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Corinthians 3:5b-6 Our adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as servants of a new
covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
2 Corinthians 3:12-15 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. We are not like
Moses, who would put a veil over his face to keep the Israelites from gazing at it while the radiance
was fading away. But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old
covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. But to this day
whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart; but whenever a person turns to the Lord, the
veil is taken away.
Galatians 2:16 nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law, but through
faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in
Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified.
Galatians 2:19-21 For through the Law I died to the Law, that I might live to God. I have been
crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now
live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me. I do
not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law then Christ died needlessly.
Galatians 3:10-12 For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written,
Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the Law to perform them.
Now that no one is justified by the Law before God is evident; for, The righteous man shall live by
faith. However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary;
Galatians 3:17-19 What I am saying is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later,
does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise. For if the
inheritance is based on Law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham
by means of a promise. What, then, is the purpose of the Laws given to Moses? They were added to
identify what wrongdoing is. Moses' Laws did this until the descendant to whom the promise was
given came to Abraham. It was put into effect through angels, using a mediator.
Galatians 3:25-28 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the Law, being shut up to
the faith which was later to be revealed. Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to
Christ, that we may be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a
tutor.
Galatians 4:9 But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that
you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things [the Law], to which you desire to be
enslaved all over again?
Galatians 4:21 Those who want to be controlled by Moses' Laws should tell me something. Are you
really listening to what Moses' Teachings say?
Galatians 5:1-3 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be
subject again to a yoke of slavery. Behold I, Paul, say to you that if you receive circumcision, Christ
will be of no benefit to you. Again, I insist that everyone who allows himself to be circumcised must
realize that he obligates himself to do everything Moses' Teachings demand.

Galatians 5:14, 18, 22-23 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement,You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.'" "But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law. But the fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control;
against such things there is no Law.
Galatians 6:13 For those who are circumcised do not even keep the Law themselves, but they desire
to have you circumcised so that they may boast in your flesh.
Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of
God: not of works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:14-16 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups [Jews and Gentiles] into one,
and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the
Law of commandments contained in ordinances, that in Himself He might make the two into one
new man, thus establishing peace, and might reconcile them both in one body to God through the
cross, by it having put to death the enmity.
Colossians 2:14 "having blotted out the bond written in ordinances that was against us, which was
contrary to us: and He hath taken it out that way, nailing it to the cross;"
Colossians 2:16-17 Therefore let no one act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to
a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath daythings which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but
the substance belongs to Christ.
Colossians 2:20-23 If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles [see Gal 4:9 the Law] of
the world why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as Do not
handle, do not taste, do not touch! (which all refer to things destined to perish with the using)-in
accordance with the commandments and teachings of men? These are matters which have, to be
sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of
the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.
Hebrews 8:6-7, 13 But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the
mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises. For if that first covenant
had been faultless, there would have been no occasion sought for a second. When He said, A new
covenant, He has made the first [covenant through Law of Moses] obsolete. But whatever is
becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to disappear. [brackets mine]
Have a peek at this piece I ran across, ya may like reading it!
Hebrews 9:22, 26b And according to the Law, one may almost say, all things are cleansed with
blood, and without shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. But now, at the end of the ages, he has
appeared once for all to remove sin by his sacrifice.
Hebrews 10:28 If two or three witnesses accused someone of rejecting Moses' Teachings, that
person was shown no mercy as he was executed. How much more severe a punishment do you think
that person deserves who tramples on God's Son, treats as common the blood of the covenant by
which it was sanctified, and insults the Spirit of grace?
