Including that. Yes. 
We that believe in Christ are to live as those judged by the law of Liberty.. the Just shall live by Faith. But GOD's Law is very much part of the New Testament. To the letter no.. but by the Spirit.
For the letter kills us.. but the Spirit gives life to walk in newness as Christ walked.. to Grow in Grace and knowledge of Christ is to Love GOD and each other and delight in GOD's Law with the New inner that is given by GOD'S Grace through Faith in His Son.
When it reads:
Galatians 3
O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? 2This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? 3Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh? 4Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it beyet in vain. 5He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
That is teaching people not to believe those who say you must be circumcised and keep the law of Moses to be saved...
If anyone teaches you that GOD's Law is dead works then I fear they have not been born again of the Holy Spirit and being guided and comforted.
For GOD's Law is good and love but we were carnal and needed to be Baptized with the Holy Spirit to not be be at enmity with GOD's Law.
It is true and that is why saints Keep the Commandments and have the Faith of Jesus.
Through Christ we have Victory and GOD be thanked in all things and for all things.
We know the answer is by the hearing of Faith.. yet some spy out our Liberty in Christ trying to marry us to the dead husband rather than be Faithful to the New.. which is the Messiah's Testament.
Those not under Grace at Liberty in Christ are dead in their tresspasses whether they are of the circumcision or not.. for both have been deemed in unbelief and must Repent and Believe and GOD will graft them in.
Christ suffered the second death. The first death all experience as evidence we were under his wrath living in a corrupted body called a body of death all the days of our lives. All die not receiving the promise of the new incorruptible body to house our new spirit that will never die. (OSAS)
Heb 11:39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not "the promise":

Not all obedience is not one trying to be justified by works, but rather doing what is right and therefore should be done by default. Those in Messiah Yahshua were not called out to live like those that dont follow Him.

Amen I would offer .Dead works come from dead faith.
Its the faith of Christ coming from him as His labor of love towards us.The other way around (upside down) is to blaspheme the holy name by which we are called heavenward.
Can’t separate faith from works. It is all one in the same. (faithworks) You could say like fireworks they do not work without fire. No big bang.
There is no separation between the faith,the planning and the work the execution .When Christ our faithful Creator by faith planned to create molecules and atoms out of nothing, non rudiments of this world . He said preaching his work or faith as a labor of his love .. Let there be... and there was rudiments .
Its those who crucify Christ over and over subjecting him to public shame as if one work of His faith fell short of the glory of God and he must be crucified again and a again.
OSAS offends those who offer dead works of faith towards God and do not accept His work of faith towards us, that works in us to both will and do His good pleasure.
If any man has not the Spirit of Christ they do not belong to Christ .
Better things accompany salavtion like actual redemption, not a down payment due in installments, and not a kick start placing a person to where Adam and Eve were before they offered their dead works of doing the pleasure of the father of lies, and became children of “no faith” other than the imaginations of their own hearts...
Again you cannot separate works from faith. It is at that point many of the disciples walked away in John 6 when Christ said his flesh profits for nothing.
We simply do not know Christ after the rudiments of this world which he by a work of His faith, a labor of His love created on day one. The same time period he corrupted it causing death .
Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, "and" of faith toward God,
I think removing the word "and" above would be a better way to paraphrase that verse .We are not saved by human faith (the imaginations of one’s own heart)
Jam 2:20 But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Ceremonial laws (non effectual) govern ceremonies. They are not moral laws that govern morals, the effectual ones. .
Shadows and types (Ceremonial laws) are used to preach the gospel of Christ in respect to the suffering of Christ before hand and the promised glory of opening the graves of those born again having the Spirit of Christ the holy Spirit of God..
Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 1Pe 1:9
Circumcision simply is a “shadow” our bloody husband , pointed ahead to the suffering of our bloody husband Christ beforehand.
Simply search for the spiritual meaning hid in the parable below. It would seem Moses had hardened his own heart God again had to soften it. And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and "sought to kill him".Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband art thou to me. So he let him go: then she said, A bloody husband thou art, because of the circumcision.Exodus 4:26

If by 'flesh' you mean self-effort (Ishmael, born of the flesh, Galatians 4:29), then, yes.
To get to the point, if we could, and did keep the deeds of the law we'd be righteous and we will have earned a place in the kingdom of God. So it's not doing what the law commands that is evil and which condemns us. What condemns us is not doing the law.
When we are not keeping the law we are walking in the deeds of the flesh. Salvation is about being born again through faith in Christ's forgiveness and as a result being equipped by the Spirit to fulfill the law. That is what we rejoice in when people get saved: Not their deliverance from having to do what the law requires as if doing the law equates to 'dead works of the law'. Instead we rejoice in the fact that because of God's Holy Spirit we can now fulfill the law we once could not. So, what we wake up from is our dead works of the flesh and awaken to a power to fulfill the deeds of the law (the ones that still have to be fulfilled).

This does not answer the question. Why does the sinning Corinthians fellow have to purposely be turned over to satan so that he can be saved? Paul is setting it as a condition for the salvation of this man. If he were talking about the death we're all going to die anyway someday there would be no need to command the church to turn him over to this....he along with the rest of us already have had that sentence pronounced on us.
It's obvious. A believer can not live in contemptuous sin and still be saved on the Day of Wrath. That's not a works gospel as some are only able to hear that. Willful, contemptuous sin is a form of unbelief. That person is trampling the blood of Christ in an 'I don't care' attitude. He will be lost on the Day of Wrath if he does not repent and turn away from that willful sin. Not because works earn salvation, but because the penalty for sin is still the same for us, it's just that if we believers stop trusting in Christ we no longer have Christ's forgiveness for the sin that condemns to hell.
This is not to be confused with the person who struggles with sin, but who continues to trust Christ to forgive the failures in that struggle. This is about the arrogant, 'I don't care' person in the church who is willfully sinning. The flesh must be put to death before he can expect to be covered by Christ's forgiveness on the Day of Wrath.....if he hasn't been turned over to his unbelief already.

"Love your neighbor as yourself" (Leviticus 19:18) in way shape or form came to an end because of Christ. In fact, faith in Christ upholds the law (Romans 3:31).
The 'end of the law of righteousness' means Christ put an end to the way of trying to gain righteousness by keeping the law. Christ's appearing brought the new way of becoming righteous--by receiving the Holy Spirit when you receive God's forgiveness for your sin. And so our righteousness is from God, not from the power of our bodies to obey the law and be declared righteous that way.

We can not earn Salvation by only obedience to the Law of the Creator, as James said and as Yahshua Himself said it takes faith and works. Romans 10:4 is a verses mistranslated in the majority of Bibles thus blurring the lines of truth. Christ is not “the end of the Law” but rather Yahshua showed the intent, ultimate result or goal (telos) of keeping the Law of YHWH.
The word translated “end” is word#G5056, τέλος, telos, tel'-os
From a primary word τέλλω tellō (to set out for a definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination [literally, figuratively or indefinitely], result [immediate, ultimate or prophetic], purpose); specifically an impost or levy (as paid):—+ continual, custom, end (-ing), finally, uttermost. Compare G5411.
Lets look at places this word is used in the Konie Greek originals to get an idea of it meaning and context;
Romans 10:4, "For Christ is the end (telos) of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth."
Romans 10:4, "For Yahshua is the ultimate result (telos) of the Law unto righteousness for everyone who believes."
1Peter 1:9, "Receiving the end (telos) of your faith, even the salvation of your souls."
1 Peter 1:9, "Receiving the ultimate result (telos) of your faith – the salvation of your souls."
If the its the end of the Law aka Law is done away or at an end in Romans 10:4 then faith must also be done away or at an end in 1 Peter 1:9. Unless of course “telos” means the goal.

Good Morning Phart, Paul say's to hold fast, "the word (gospel) which I preached to you", which is a common theme of Paul's, ie. "so that we won't be tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine." Eph.4:14.
Quote:
"You have to retain and hold fast the Word of faithto be saved by that word through which faith comes" (The bible does not teach this, you do).
Your proof text above in blue letter's do not contain the word "faith", not one time. Paul is referring to, "the gospel which I preached to you," 1Cor15:1 , And yet your opening statement uses the word "faith" 6 times. Paul uses the the word faith not one time.
And the same is true of 1John2:24, "let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning.mwhich you have heard from the beginning refers to 1John1:1 "The Word of Life", Jesus.
Not one time in your proof text passages do they refer to "faith" and yet you use the word "faith" in your opening statement.
Are you sure you are not a computer bot.....

What!? You are really mixed up. First off, whatever giving his flesh over to satan for destruction meant, 2 Corinthians hints that he wasn't destroyed physically, and repented.But the point Paul was making by delivering him over was that his SPIRIT would be saved.
If he was allowed to continue having sex with his mother, with NO consequences, OTHERS might be led into thinking sinful behavior is fine.
Also, eternity is a long time. How we conduct ourselves as saved Christians will have eternal consequences in regard to our position in the Kingdom. Some will be rulers with lots of rewards, others will be the least in the Kingdom of Heaven. BUT THEY WILL BE IN THE KINGDOM.

Notice to this thread: Hizikyah, is promoting a false doctrine; that we should return to the Mosaic Law. He also puts his Jewish roots "in front of his Christian Faith", distorting the True Gospel. Aside from that I am tired of seeing a wall of verses a mile long every time he adds a post, therefore by necessity I am putting Hizikyah on Ignore.
Quote: Hizikyah
"We can not earn Salvation "by 'only' obedience to the Law of the Creator", as James said and as Yahshua Himself said it takes faith and works. Romans 10:4 is a verses mistranslated in the majority of Bibles thus blurring the lines of truth. Christ is not “the end of the Law” but rather Yahshua showed the intent, ultimate result or goal (telos)
"of keeping the Law of YHWH."
Going back to Law, or "keeping the Law of YHWH", (God), is going in the wrong direction. Turn back to Christ/Messiah and you will find everlasting salvation and Peace with God.

James 2:24, "You see, then, that a man is declared right by works, and not by belief alone."
