We need to know the holy requirement of God. We need to know the standard of God. We must not get the idea that faith is againstt the law. Faith establishes the law. Faith is not the negation of the law of God.
Faith honors the law.

Paul shows clearly that neither Gentile nor Jew is able to meet the holy standard of God which is demanded in the law of God. The Christian gospel honors the law of God. Faith honors the law of God. True faith will always gravitate to answer number 1.
