Rom.2.17  But if you call yourself a Jew and rely upon the law and boast of your relation to God
2Cor.1.9  Why, we felt that we had received the sentence of death; but that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead;
Gal.3.10  For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, "Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them."
