Unless your righteousness surpasses that
of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law,
you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
–Jesus Christ in Matthew 5:20 (NIV)–
Oh, how I love your law!
I meditate on it all day long.
–Psalm 119:97 (NIV)–
In my inner being I delight in God’s law.
–Romans 7:22 (NIV)–
With the temptation also make a way to escape.
–1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV)–
She caught him by his cloak and said, “Come to bed with me!”
But he left his cloak in her hand and ran out of the house.
–Genesis 39:12 (NIV)–
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
–Jesus Christ in Matthew 6:13 (KJV)–

OF FRANCIS TURRETIN’S INSTITUTES OF ELENCTIC THEOLOGY, VOL. 2.
Turretin’s teaching on the second and third uses of the law are more compatible with Presbyterian teaching (PCA and OPC) than Baptist teaching (SBC), which tends to only teach the first use of the law, that it only condemns, but not that the law provides wisdom and lifestyle direction.
