Galatians 2:14-21

Rotherham(i) 14 But, when I saw that they were not walking with straightforwardness as regardeth the truth of the glad–message, I said unto Cephas, before all: If, thou, although, a Jew, like them of the nations, and not like the Jews, dost live, how dost thou compel, them of the nations, to live like Jews? 15 We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations, 16 Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, [nor at all] save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous––by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous. 17 Now, if in seeking to be declared righteous in Christ we, ourselves also, were found sinners,––is Christ, therefore, a minister, of sin? Far be it! 18 For, if, the things that I pulled down, these, again, I build, a transgressor, I prove, myself, to be. 19 For, I, through means of law, unto law, died, that, unto God, I might live:–– 20 With Christ, have I been crucified; and, living no longer, am, I, but, living in me, is, Christ,––while, so far as I now do live in flesh, by faith, I live––The faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up in my behalf. 21 I do not set aside the favour of God; for, if, through law, is righteousness, then, Christ, without cause, died.
