Galatians 2:18-20
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
18 For if I am building again these[a] things which I tore-down[b], I am demonstrating[c] myself to be a transgressor. 19 For through the Law I died to the Law in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified-with Christ! 20 And I no longer am living, but Christ is living in me. And what I am now[d] living in the flesh[e], I am living by[f] faith in the Son of God— the One having loved me and handed Himself over for me.
