He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will abide in the shadow of the Almighty.

He will cover you with his pinions, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler. You will not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day, ...

By what kind of law? By a law of works? No, but by the law of faith. For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. ...
