Galatians 2:19

Read in context

Galatians 2:17–21 · Berean Standard Bible

17 But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!

18 If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.

19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.

20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

21 I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.
