Galatians 2:19
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.
For through the Law I died to the Law and its demands on me [because salvation is provided through the death and resurrection of Christ], so that I might [from now on] live to God.
For I through the Law [under the operation of the curse of the Law] have [in Christ’s death for me] myself died to the Law and all the Law’s demands upon me, so that I may [henceforth] live to and for God.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live for God.
I died to the Law through the Law, so that I could live for God.
For it was through letting the Torah speak for itself that I died to its traditional legalistic misinterpretation, so that I might live in direct relationship with God.
It was the Law itself that killed me and freed me from its power, so I could live for God. I have been nailed to the cross with Christ.
For *I*, through law, have died to law, that I may live to God.
For through the Law I died to the Law in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified-with Christ!
For I, through the law, am dead to the law, that I may live to God: with Christ I am nailed to the cross.
It was the law itself that caused me to end my life under the law. I died to the law so that I could live for God. I have been nailed to the cross with Christ.
But God's Law showed me that I could never obey all its rules. So I became like a dead person, free from the authority of those rules. That means that I can now live to please God.
Indeed, through the law I died to the law that I might live for God.
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God.
·It was the law that put me to death [or Trying to keep the law condemned me to death; L For through the law I died to the law], and I died to the law so that I can now live for God [C no longer depending on the law for salvation, Paul now depends on God’s grace].
For I through the Law am dead to the Law, that I might live unto God.
When I tried to obey the laws in the Scriptures, those laws killed me. As a result, I live in a relationship with God. I have been crucified with Christ.
So far as the Law is concerned, however, I am dead—killed by the Law itself—in order that I might live for God. I have been put to death with Christ on his cross,
For through the law I have died to the law, so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ
I stopped living for the law. It was the law that put me to death. I died to the law so that I can now live for God. I was put to death on the cross with Christ.
For through the Law I died to the Law so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with the Messiah.
And then I went on to explain that we, who are Jews by birth and not Gentile sinners, know that a man is justified not by performing what the Law commands but by faith in Jesus Christ. We ourselves are justified by our faith and not by our obedience to the Law, for we have recognised that no one can achieve justification by doing the “works of the Law”. Now if, as we seek the real truth about justification, we find we are as much sinners as the Gentiles, does that mean that Christ makes us sinners? Of course not! But if I attempt to build again the whole structure of justification by the Law then I do, in earnest, make myself a sinner. For under the Law I “died”, and now I am dead to the Law’s demands so that I may live for God. As far as the Law is concerned I may consider that I died on the cross with Christ. And my present life is not that of the old “I”, but the living Christ within me. The bodily life I now live, I live believing in the Son of God, who loved me and sacrificed himself for me. Consequently I refuse to stultify the grace of God by reverting to the Law. For if righteousness were possible under the Law then Christ died for nothing!
For through the law I am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
For through the Law I died to the Law, so that I might live to God.
For through the law I died to the law, in order that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ,
for it was through reading the Scripture that I came to realize that I could never find God’s favor by trying—and failing—to obey the laws. I came to realize that acceptance with God comes by believing in Christ.
What actually took place is this: I tried keeping rules and working my head off to please God, and it didn’t work. So I quit being a “law man” so that I could be God’s man. Christ’s life showed me how, and enabled me to do it. I identified myself completely with him. Indeed, I have been crucified with Christ. My ego is no longer central. It is no longer important that I appear righteous before you or have your good opinion, and I am no longer driven to impress God. Christ lives in me. The life you see me living is not “mine,” but it is lived by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I am not going to go back on that. Is it not clear to you that to go back to that old rule-keeping, peer-pleasing religion would be an abandonment of everything personal and free in my relationship with God? I refuse to do that, to repudiate God’s grace. If a living relationship with God could come by rule-keeping, then Christ died unnecessarily.

Let me explain it like this. Through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with the Messiah.

for I through law, did die, that to God I may live;
