Law And Liberty

Qui autem perspexerit in lege perfectae libertatis, et permanserit in ea... Legem perfectae libertatis, gratiam dicit Evangelii. Nihil enim ad perfectum adduxit lex dicit. Et alibi: Non enim accepistis spiritum servitutis iterum in timore, sed accepistis spiritum adoptionis filiorum. Et iterum: Ubi enim spirtus Domini, ibi libertas. Et ipse Dominus: Si vos, inquit, Filius liberaverit, vere liberi eritis. Sanctus Beda, Super Divi Jacobi Epistolam, Caput I Source: Migne PL 93 17

For he who has looked into the law of perfect liberty, and remained in it... 1 The law of perfect liberty is the grace of the Gospel. 'For the law does not lead to perfection.' 2 And elsewhere: 'For you have not received the spirit of servitude again in fear, but you received the spirit of adopted sons.' 3 And again: 'For where is the spirit of God there is liberty.' 4 And the Lord himself says: 'If the Son has liberated you, truly you are free.' 5 Saint Bede, from the Commentary on the Letter of Saint James, Chapter 1 1 Jam 1.25 2 Hebr 7.19 3 Rom 8.15 4 2 Cor 3.17 5. Jn 8.36
