Galatians 2:21

οὐκ ἀθετῶ τὴν χάριν τοῦ θεοῦ· εἰ γὰρ διὰ νόμου δικαιοσύνη ἄρα Χριστὸς δωρεὰν ἀπέθανεν
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

Romans 11:6

εἰ δὲ χάριτι οὐκέτι ἐξ ἔργων ἐπεὶ ἡ χάρις οὐκέτι γίνεται χάρις εἰ δὲ ἐξ ἔργων· οὐκέτι ἐστὶν χάρις ἐπεὶ τὸ ἔργον οὐκέτι ἐστίν ἔργον
6
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.

Galatians 3:21

Ὁ οὖν νόμος κατὰ τῶν ἐπαγγελιῶν τοῦ θεοῦ μὴ γένοιτο εἰ γὰρ ἐδόθη νόμος ὁ δυνάμενος ζῳοποιῆσαι ὄντως ἂν ἐκ νόμου ἦν ἡ δικαιοσύνη·
21
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

Hebrews 7:11

Εἰ μὲν οὖν τελείωσις διὰ τῆς Λευιτικῆς ἱερωσύνης ἦν ὁ λαὸς γὰρ ἐπ' αὐτῇ νενομοθέτητο τίς ἔτι χρεία κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Μελχισέδεκ ἕτερον ἀνίστασθαι ἱερέα καὶ οὐ κατὰ τὴν τάξιν Ἀαρὼν λέγεσθαι
11
If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another should priest rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?

1 Corinthians 15:14

εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται κενὸν ἄρα τὸ κήρυγμα ἡμῶν κενὴ δὲ καὶ ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν·
14
And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Galatians 5:2

Ἴδε ἐγὼ Παῦλος λέγω ὑμῖν ὅτι ἐὰν περιτέμνησθε Χριστὸς ὑμᾶς οὐδὲν ὠφελήσει
2
Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.

Galatians 2:16

εἰδότες ὅτι οὐ δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἐὰν μὴ διὰ πίστεως Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐπιστεύσαμεν ἵνα δικαιωθῶμεν ἐκ πίστεως Χριστοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου διότι οὐ δικαιωθήσεται ἐξ ἔργων νόμου πᾶσα σάρξ
16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no be flesh justified.

Romans 10:3

ἀγνοοῦντες γὰρ τὴν τοῦ θεοῦ δικαιοσύνην καὶ τὴν ἰδίαν δικαιοσύνην ζητοῦντες στῆσαι τῇ δικαιοσύνῃ τοῦ θεοῦ οὐχ ὑπετάγησαν·
3
For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not themselves submitted unto the righteousness of God.

Isaiah 49:4

וַאֲנִי אָמַרְתִּי לְרִיק יָגַעְתִּי לְתֹהוּ וְהֶבֶל כֹּחִי כִלֵּיתִי אָכֵן מִשְׁפָּטִי אֶת-יְהוָה וּפְעֻלָּתִי אֶת-אֱלֹהָֽי׃
4
Then I said, I have laboured in vain, I have spent my strength for nought, and in vain: yet surely my judgment is with the LORD, and my work with my God.

1 Corinthians 15:2

δι' οὗ καὶ σῴζεσθε τίνι λόγῳ εὐηγγελισάμην ὑμῖν εἰ κατέχετε ἐκτὸς εἰ μὴ εἰκῇ ἐπιστεύσατε
2
By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.

Mark 7:9

Καὶ ἔλεγεν αὐτοῖς Καλῶς ἀθετεῖτε τὴν ἐντολὴν τοῦ θεοῦ ἵνα τὴν παράδοσιν ὑμῶν τηρήσητε
9
And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Romans 8:31

Τί οὖν ἐροῦμεν πρὸς ταῦτα εἰ ὁ θεὸς ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν τίς καθ' ἡμῶν
31
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Galatians 2:18

εἰ γὰρ ἃ κατέλυσα ταῦτα πάλιν οἰκοδομῶ παραβάτην ἐμαυτὸν συνίστημι
18
For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

Psalms 33:10

יְֽהוָה הֵפִיר עֲצַת-גּוֹיִם הֵנִיא מַחְשְׁבוֹת עַמִּֽים׃
10
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to nought: he maketh the devices of the people of none effect.

1 Corinthians 15:17

εἰ δὲ Χριστὸς οὐκ ἐγήγερται ματαία ἡ πίστις ὑμῶν ἔτι ἐστὲ ἐν ταῖς ἁμαρτίαις ὑμῶν
17
And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

Jeremiah 8:8

אֵיכָה תֹֽאמְרוּ חֲכָמִים אֲנַחְנוּ וְתוֹרַת יְהוָה אִתָּנוּ אָכֵן הִנֵּה לַשֶּׁקֶר עָשָׂה עֵט שֶׁקֶר סֹפְרִֽים׃
8
How do ye say, We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us? Lo, certainly in vain made he it; the pen of the scribes is in vain.
