Galatians 2:15-21
Legacy Standard Bible

15 “We are (A)Jews by nature and not (B)sinners from among the Gentiles; 16 nevertheless [a]knowing that (C)a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by (D)faith in Christ and not by the works of the Law; since (E)by the works of [b]the Law no [c]flesh will be justified. 17 But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found (F)sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? (G)May it never be! 18 For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I (H)prove myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through [d]the Law I (I)died to [e]the Law, so that I might live to God. 20 I have been (J)crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but (K)Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in (L)the Son of God, who (M)loved me and (N)gave Himself up for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for (O)if righteousness comes through [f]the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”

Galatians 2:15-21
Christian Standard Bible

15 We are Jews by birth and not “Gentile sinners,” 16 and yet because we know that a person is not justified by the works of the law(A) but by faith in Jesus Christ,[a] even we ourselves have believed in Christ Jesus. This was so that we might be justified by faith in Christ[b] and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will[c] be justified. 17 But if we ourselves are also found to be “sinners” while seeking to be justified by Christ,(B) is Christ then a promoter[d](C) of sin? Absolutely not!(D) 18 If I rebuild(E) those things that I tore down, I show myself to be a lawbreaker.(F) 19 For through the law I died to the law,(G) so that I might live for God.(H) 20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.(I) The life I now live in the body,[e] I live by faith in the Son of God,(J) who loved(K) me(L) and gave himself(M) for me.(N) 21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law,(O) then Christ died(P) for nothing.
