Galatians 2:16-21
16neverthelessG1161 knowingG3609 that 1a manG444 is not justifiedG1344 by the worksG2041 of 2the LawG3551 but throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, evenG2532 we have believedG4100 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, soG2443 that we may be justifiedG1344 by 3faithG4102 in ChristG5547 and not by the worksG2041 of 4the LawG3551; sinceG3754 5by the worksG2041 of 6the LawG3551 noG3756G3956 7fleshG4561 will be justifiedG1344.
17But ifG1487, while seekingG2212 to be justifiedG1344 in ChristG5547, we ourselvesG846 have alsoG2532 been foundG2147 8sinnersG268, is ChristG5547 thenG686 a ministerG1249 of sinG266? 9May it neverG3361 be!
18For ifG1487 I rebuildG3618 whatG3739 I have once destroyedG2647, I 10proveG4921 myselfG1683 to be a transgressorG3848.
19For throughG1223 11the LawG3551 I 12diedG599 to 13the LawG3551, soG2443 that I might liveG2198 to GodG2316.
20I have been 14crucifiedG4957 with ChristG5547; and it is noG3765 longerG3765 I who liveG2198, but 15ChristG5547 livesG2198 in me; and 16the life whichG3739 I nowG3568 liveG2198 in the fleshG4561 I liveG2198 by faithG4102 in 17the SonG5207 of GodG2316, who 18lovedG25 me and 19gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 up for me.
21I do not nullifyG114 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, for 20ifG1487 righteousnessG1343 comes throughG1223 21the LawG3551, thenG686 ChristG5547 diedG599 needlesslyG1431.”
