Man, if you can get there, legally,... with one, and without the other or be done with it already... I'd really like to know that trick !....nay, there's much work to be done...

Romans 2:13-16: For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified… on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Jesus Christ.

Romans 6:16: Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience which leads to righteousness?

Matt 10:22: And you will be hated of all men for my name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Romans 13:11: For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. I Cor. 5:5: You are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of the flesh that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

A passage that would be precious for your assurance is 1 John 3:9. Try reading it in several translations/versions, including the DR, the KJV, and theearliest English translation you can find. GOD tells us that when we are born again in the now, it is He who then abides in the sinless spirit, sinless because the Righteousness of Christ has been imouted to our once dead spirit come alive forever more. The Word of God separates the soul (the sin nature) from the spirit and then GOD abides in that newborn spirit, regardless of the sin the flesh/soul+body commites thereafter, because sin cannot touch the place where GOD abides.

So you closed your bible at the beginning of Romans chapter three???

Rom 3:21  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 
Rom 3:22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 

Well that eliminates the 'doers of the law' mentioned in Romans 2:12 doesn't it??? Now for a little icing...

Rom 3:28  Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 

2Ti_2:15  Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

You've got a long way to go...
