Galatians 2:17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
17 But if, in seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin?[a] Of course not!

- 2:17 A minister of sin: literally, “a servant of sin” (cf. Rom 15:8), an agent of sin, one who promotes it. This is possibly a claim by opponents that justification on the basis of faith in Christ makes Christ an abettor of sin when Christians are found to be sinners. Paul denies the conclusion (cf. Rom 6:1–4).
