Temptation to Legal Dependance

KJV

Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

ESV

Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?

Galatians 3:3

Go, you that rest upon the law,

And toil and seek salvation there;

Look to the flame that Moses saw,

And shrink, and tremble, and despair.

But I'll retire beneath thy cross—

Saviour, at thy dear feet I'll lie;

And the keen sword that justice draws,

Flaming and red, shall pass me by.
