Law is the divine commandment and purpose of living in this world and its purpose is human happiness. In Judaism, morality is part of the Law, so an ethical person is one who obeys the religious orders and thus becomes the source of morality. But Christianity is based on faith, faith in the ransom of the Son of God in the way of cleansing man of his sinful nature, which has a determining role. Jesus restored morality to faith. Paul, as the second Christian character, considers faith to be virtuous. Of course, he does not mean the Greek virtue, but the virtue of faith, love, and hope, which is the gift of God. It is understood from Paul’s treatises that transform human faith from within, and that ethics originates from an internal source. The common assumption in Paul’s words is that he has been a denouncer of the Jewish Law by putting faith and morality on it. In this study, we examine Paul’s view of the three categories of ethics, law and faith from the point of view of which he has established these three issues, the relationship between which faith is not the law and ethics to some extent. Faith is based, and so is Law.
