Romans 3:31
Douay-Rheims
Do we, then, destroy the law through faith? God forbid: but we establish the law.
Augustine of Hippo
The law is confirmed by faith. Apart from faith the law merely commands, and it holds guilty those who do not fulfill its commands, so that it might thereafter turn to the grace of the Deliverer those groaning in their inability to do what is commanded.
