Galatians:2:14-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But when I saw that they did not walk uprightly ,
according to the truth of the gospel ,
I said to Peter ,
before them all-If you ,
being a Jew ,
live after the manner of the Gentiles ,
and not after the manner of the Jews ,
why do you compel the Gentiles to Judaize ?
*
We ,
who are Jews by nature ,
and not sinners of the Gentiles ,
*
knowing that man is not justified by works of law ,
but only through the faith of Jesus Christ ;
even we have believed in Jesus Christ ,
that we may be justified by the faith of Christ ,
and not by works of law ;
for by works of law no flesh shall be justified .
*
But if seeking to be justified by Christ ,
even we ourselves are found sinners ,
is Christ ,
then ,
the minister of sin ?
By no means .
*
For if I build again those things which I destroyed ,
I constitute myself a transgressor .
*
Besides ,
I ,
through law ,
have died to law ,
that I might live to God .
*
I am crucified together with Christ .
Nevertheless ,
I live ;
yet not longer I ,
but Christ lives in me :
for the life which I now live in the flesh ,
I live by the faith which is of the Son of God ,
who loved me ,
and gave himself for me .
*
I do not set aside the favor of God .
For if righteousness is through law ,
then certainly Christ has died in vain .
