Galatians 2:15-21 - Justified By Faith In Christ

¹⁵ We who are Jews by descent, and not sinners sprung from Gentiles, ¹⁶ 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 faith in Christ, and not by works of the law; because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. ¹⁷ For if seeking to be justified by Christ, we also ourselves should be found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? God forbid. ¹⁸ For if I build up again the very same things which I have pulled down, I stamp myself a transgressor. ¹⁹ For I through the law am dead to the law, that I should live unto God. ²⁰ I am crucified with Christ, yet I live; though no more I, but Christ liveth in me: and my present life in the flesh, is a life by faith in the Son of God, who hath loved me, and delivered up himself for me. ²¹ I do not set at nought the grace of God; for if righteousness came by the law, truly Christ hath died in vain.
