Galatians 2:17-19

New Century Version

¹⁷ We Jews came to Christ, trying to be made right with God, and it became clear that we are sinners, too. Does this mean that Christ encourages sin? No! ¹⁸ But I would really be wrong to begin teaching again those things that I gave up. ¹⁹ It was the law that put me to death, and I died to the law so that I can now live for God.
