Galatians 2:15-17
New American Standard Bible 1995
15 “We are (A)Jews by nature and not (B)sinners from among the Gentiles; 16 nevertheless knowing that (C)a man is not justified by the works of [a]the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by (D)faith in Christ and not by the works of [b]the Law; since (E)by the works of [c]the Law no [d]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!

New International Version

17 “But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we Jews find ourselves also among the sinners,(F) doesn’t that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!(G)
