15We who are Jews by nature,andnotsinnersof the Gentiles,16Knowingthat a manisnotjustifiedby the works of the law,butby the faith of JesusChrist,evenwe have believedinJesusChrist,that we might be justifiedby the faith of Christ,andnotby the works of the law:forby the works of the lawshallnoflesh be justified .
17Butif, while we seek to be justifiedbyChrist,weourselvesalso are foundsinners, is thereforeChrist the minister of sin? God forbid .
18Forif I buildagain the thingswhich I destroyed , I makemyself a transgressor.19ForIthrough the law am dead to the law,that I might live unto God.20
I am crucified with Christ:nevertheless I live ; yet notI,butChristlivethinme:and the life whichInowlivein the flesh I liveby the faith of the Son of God,wholovedme,andgavehimselfforme.21
I donotfrustrate the grace of God:forifrighteousness come by the law,thenChrist is dead in vain.
