Galatians 2:16-18

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁶ But we know that no one is made right with God by following the law. It is trusting in^[a] Jesus Christ that makes a person right with God. So we have put our faith in Christ Jesus, because we wanted to be made right with God. And we are right with him because we trusted in^[b] Christ—not because we followed the law. I can say this because no one can be made right with God by following the law.

¹⁷ We Jews came to Christ to be made right with God, so it is clear that we were sinners too. Does this mean that Christ makes us sinners? Of course not. ¹⁸ But I would be wrong to begin teaching again those things that I gave up.
