Galatians 2:17-21

If while seeking to be justified in Christ it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Absolutely not! If I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker. For through the law I died to the law, that I may live for God. I am crucified with Christ, so it is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me. For the life I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness is through law, then Christ died in vain.
