Justified by Faith
Galatians 2: 15-21
15 We ourselves are Jews by birth and not mGentile sinners; 16 yet we know that naperson is not justified2 by works of the law obut through faith in Jesus Christ, sowe also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christand not by works of the law, pbecause by works of the law no one will bejustified.
17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found qto besinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what Itore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I rdied tothe law, so that I might slive to God. 20 I have been tcrucified with Christ. It is nolonger I who live, but Christ who lives uin me. And the life I now live in the fleshI live by faith in the Son of God, vwho loved me and wgave himself for me. 21 I donot nullify the grace of God, for xif righteousness3 were through the law, ythenChrist died for no purpose.
