Galatians 2:18-22

For if I rebuild what I have once destroyed, I prove myself to be a wrongdoer.

For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live for God.

I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”
