NASB | Romans 3:31 ¶ Do we then nullify the Law through faith? May it never be! On the contrary, we establish the Law. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 3:31 ¶ Do we then nullify the Law by this faith [making the Law of no effect, overthrowing it]? Certainly not! On the contrary, we confirm and establish and uphold the Law [since it convicts us all of sin, pointing to the need for salvation]. |

Bible Note: Yes, kalos, Your point 1 appears to be very significant. A tension existed between sin and the law because man was in violation of the law. Would the law give up its demands and yield to the sinner? In which case sin would have been justified. The law required a payment for sin. Payment had not been made until Christ made it on the cross. The condemnation of sin through the payment established the law as righteous and immovable. So Christ satisfied, fulfilled, justified, and established the law while reconciling us to God. He is certainly worthy of all adoration and praise for now and all eternity! tortoise |
