Justified By Faith In Christ
15 We are Jews by birth, and not of the sinful race of the Gentiles, 16 yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in him, and not by the works of the law, by which there is no justification. 17 Now if it be a sin to seek for justification by Christ, then is Christ the minister of sin, which cannot be.
