Galatians 2:17-21
New King James Version
17 “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found (A)sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. 19 For I (B)through the law (C)died to the law that I might (D)live to God. 20 I have been (E)crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh (F)I live by faith in the Son of God, (G)who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for (H)if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died [a]in vain.”

Galatians 2:17-21
English Standard Version
17 But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found (A)to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18 For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the law I (B)died to the law, so that I might (C)live to God. 20 I have been (D)crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives (E)in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, (F)who loved me and (G)gave himself for me. 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for (H)if righteousness[a] were through the law, (I)then Christ died for no purpose.
