Galatians 2:19-21
New Living Translation
19 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. 20 My old self has been crucified with Christ.[a] It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

Galatians 2:19-21
New American Standard Bible
19 For through [a]the Law I (A)died to [b]the Law, so that I might live for God. 20 I have been (B)crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but (C)Christ lives in me; and [c]the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in (D)the Son of God, who (E)loved me and (F)gave Himself up for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for (G)if righteousness comes through [d]the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
