23You who brag about the law, do you dishonor God by breaking the law?
The Jews had their Laws, and could not keep them. God required them to follow the Law perfectly, yet no one could possibly do so.

21you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
21you, then, who teach others, do you not teach yourself? You who preach against stealing, do you steal?
The Jews made fun of the "brutish" Gentiles, yet could not keep the Law themselves. The Law stated "You shall not steal", yet most did!

Galatians 3:2
2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?
2I would like to learn just one thing from you: Did you receive the Spirit by observing the law, or by believing what you heard?
Paul asks a question, with an obvious answer, in order to attempt to make his point. In essence, he argues: "You were Born Again by simply believing upon Christ and what He did for you upon the Cross. Why do you now shift away from Faith in the Cross, to Faith in your Works, for your everyday walk with God?"

2Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
2Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
Paul presents his authority here, ("I Paul say unto you..."), declaring that if the Believer leaves Faith in the Cross to revert back into Law, (Law of any kind), his religion becomes worthless. You cannot have it both ways.

Galatians 4:9
9But now that you know God–or rather are known by God–how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable principles? Do you wish to be enslaved by them all over again?

After coming to know God through Faith in Christ, the Galatians were going back to misplaced Faith in rules, traditions, good works, sacraments, symbolism and Law. Instead of progressing in their Faith, the church was back into bondage. Sounds very similar to the Modern Church.

Isaiah 1:10
10Hear the word of the LORD,you rulers of Sodom;listen to the law of our God,you people of Gomorrah!
10Hear the word of the LORD,you rulers of Sodom;listen to the law of our God,you people of Gomorrah!
The Holy Spirit likens the Israelites to Sodom and Gomorrah. Here, the Prophet accuses the people of placing their Faith in the outward expression of worship and work of the Law, rather than in the Spirit. Jehovah hates religiosity devoid of heartfelt love.

2When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”
2When the Pharisees saw this, they said to him, “Look! Your disciples are doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath.”
This was not from the Law of Moses. The Law of Moses permitted this action to take place. (See Deut. 23:25) The Pharisees created this rule.

Romans 3:20
20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
20Therefore no one will be declared righteous in his sight by observing the law; rather, through the law we become conscious of sin.
The purpose of the Law is to define and manifest sin. Deliverance cannot be found in the works of the Law. The Law only reveals our need of a Savior.

Galatians 2:16
16know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.

"in Christ Jesus" means "faith in the Sacrificial Death of Christ."
