Galatians 2:15-21

New King James Version

^15 (A)We who are Jews by nature, and not ^(B)sinners of the Gentiles, ^16 (C)knowing that a man is not ^[a]justified by the works of the law but ^(D)by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not ^(E)by the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

¹⁷ “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found ^(F)sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! ¹⁸ For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. ¹⁹ For I ^(G)through the law ^(H)died to the law that I might ^(I)live to God. ²⁰ I have been ^(J)crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh ^(K)I live by faith in the Son of God, ^(L)who loved me and gave Himself for me. ²¹ I do not set aside the grace of God; for ^(M)if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died ^[b]in vain.”
