18 For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I (A)prove myself to be a wrongdoer. 19 For through [a]the Law I (B)died to [b]the Law, so that I might live for God. 20 I have been (C)crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but (D)Christ lives in me; and [c]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in (E)the Son of God, who (F)loved me and (G)gave Himself up for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for (H)if righteousness comes through [d]the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
