Galatians 2:19-21
New Testament for Everyone
19 Let me explain it like this. Through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with the Messiah. 20 I am, however, alive—but it isn’t me any longer, it’s the Messiah who lives in me. And the life I do still live in the flesh, I live within the faithfulness of the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
21 I don’t set aside God’s grace. If “righteousness” comes through the law, then the Messiah died for nothing.
