For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things, & I regard them as rubbish, so that I may gain Christ & be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but one that comes thru faith in Christ…

—Phil 3:8-9

For it is necessary that the doctrine of Christian liberty be preserved in the churches, namely, that the bondage of the Law is not necessary to justification, as it is written in the Epistle to the Galatians, 5, 1: Be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

—Augsburg Confession XXVIII
