Galatians 2:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 We who are Jews by birth and not “Gentile sinners” 16 know that no one is justified by the works of the law(A) but by faith in Jesus Christ.[a] And we have believed in Christ Jesus 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)
