Galatians 2:14-21

WEB · Bible Passage

Bible Text

[14] But when I saw that they didn't walk uprightly according to the truth of the Gospel, I said to Peter before them all, "If you, being a Jew, live as the Gentiles do, and not as the Jews do, why do you compel the Gentiles to live as the Jews do? [15] "We, being Jews by nature, and not Gentile sinners, [16] yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law. [17] But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a servant of sin? Certainly not! [18] For if I build up again those things which I destroyed, I prove myself a law-breaker. [19] For I, through the law, died to the law, that I might live to God. [20] I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. [21] I don't make void the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!"
