Galatians 2:16-21
16neverthelessG1161, knowingG3609 that 1a personG444 is not justifiedG1344 by worksG2041 of 2the LawG3551 but throughG1223 faithG4102 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, evenG2532 we have believedG4100 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424, soG2443 thatG2443 we may be justifiedG1344 by 3faithG4102 in ChristG5547 and not by worksG2041 of 4the LawG3551; sinceG3754 5by 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 thenG687 a servantG1249 of sinG266? 910FarG3361 fromG3361 it!
18For ifG1487 I rebuildG3618 whatG3739 I have once destroyedG2647, I 11proveG4921 myselfG1683 to be a wrongdoerG3848.
19For throughG1223 12the LawG3551 I 13diedG599 to 14the LawG3551, soG2443 thatG2443 I might liveG2198 for GodG2316.
20I have been 15crucifiedG4957 with ChristG5547; and it is noG3765 longerG3765 I who liveG2198, but 16ChristG5547 livesG2198 in me; and 17the life whichG3739 I nowG3568 liveG2198 in the fleshG4561 I liveG2198 by faithG4102 in 18the SonG5207 of GodG2316, who 19lovedG25 me and 20gaveG3860 HimselfG1438 upG3860 for me.
21I do not nullifyG114 the graceG5485 of GodG2316, for 21ifG1487 righteousnessG1343 comes throughG1223 22the LawG3551, thenG686 ChristG5547 diedG599 needlesslyG1432.”
