Galatians:2:14-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel ,
I said unto Peter before them all ,
If thou ,
being a Jew ,
livest after the manner of Gentiles ,
and not as do the Jews ,
why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews ?
*
We who are Jews by nature ,
and not sinners of the Gentiles ,
*
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law ,
but by the faith of Jesus Christ ,
even we have believed in Jesus Christ ,
that we might be justified by the faith of Christ ,
and not by the works of the law :
for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified .
*
But if ,
while we seek to be justified by Christ ,
we ourselves also are found sinners ,
is therefore Christ the minister of sin ?
God forbid .
*
For if I build again the things which I destroyed ,
I make myself a transgressor .
*
For I through the law am dead to the law ,
that I might live unto God .
*
I am crucified with Christ :
nevertheless I live ;
yet not I ,
but Christ liveth in me :
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God ,
who loved me ,
and gave himself for me .
*
I do not frustrate the grace of God :
for if righteousness come by the law ,
then Christ is dead in vain .
