Galatians 2:14-21
14But whenG3753 I sawG3708 that they 1were not 2straightforwardG3716 aboutG4314 3the truthG225 of the gospelG2098, I saidG3004 to 4CephasG2786 in the presenceG1715 of allG3956, “IfG1487 you, beingG5225 a JewG2453, 5liveG2198 likeG1483 the GentilesG1483 and not likeG2452 the JewsG2452, howG4459 is it that you compelG315 the GentilesG1484 to liveG2450 likeG2450 JewsG2450?6
15“We are 7JewsG2453 by natureG5449 and not 8sinnersG268 from amongG1537 the GentilesG1484; 16neverthelessG1161 knowingG3609 that 9a manG444 is not justifiedG1344 by the worksG2041 of 10the LawG3551 but throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, evenG2532 we have believedG4100 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, soG2443 that we may be justifiedG1344 by 11faithG4102 in ChristG5547 and not by the worksG2041 of 12the LawG3551; sinceG3754 13by the worksG2041 of 14the LawG3551 noG3756G3956 15fleshG4561 will be justifiedG1344. 17But ifG1487, while seekingG2212 to be justifiedG1344 in ChristG5547, we ourselvesG846 have alsoG2532 been foundG2147 16sinnersG268, is ChristG5547 thenG686 a ministerG1249 of sinG266? 17May it neverG3361 be! 18For ifG1487 I rebuildG3618 whatG3739 I have once destroyedG2647, I 18proveG4921 myselfG1683 to be a transgressorG3848. 19For throughG1223 19the LawG3551 I 20diedG599 to 21the LawG3551, soG2443 that I might liveG2198 to GodG2316. 20I have been 22crucifiedG4957 with ChristG5547; and it is noG3765 longerG3765 I who liveG2198, but 23ChristG5547 livesG2198 in me; and 24the life whichG3739 I nowG3568 liveG2198 in the fleshG4561 I liveG2198 by faithG4102 in 25the SonG5207 of GodG2316, who 26lovedG25 me and 27gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 up for me. 21I do not nullifyG114 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, for 28ifG1487 righteousnessG1343 comes throughG1223 29the LawG3551, thenG686 ChristG5547 diedG599 needlesslyG1431.”
