20 and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God,[a] who loved me and gave himself for me.(A) 21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness[b] comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

Law or Faith

You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly exhibited as crucified!(B) The only thing I want to learn from you is this: Did you receive the Spirit by doing the works of the law or by believing what you heard?(C) Are you so foolish? Having started with the Spirit, are you now ending with the flesh?(D) Did you experience so much for nothing?—if it really was for nothing.(E) Well then, does God[c] supply you with the Spirit and work miracles among you by your doing the works of the law or by your believing what you heard?
