Far be the thought. 18For if the things I have thrown down, these I build again, I constitute myself a transgressor. 19For I, through law, have died to law, that I may live toGod. 20I am crucified with Christ, and no longer live, I, but Christ lives in me; but [in] that I now live in flesh, I live by faith, the [faith] of the Son ofGod, who has loved me and given himself for me. 21I do not set aside the grace ofGod; for if righteousness [is] by law, then Christ has died for nothing. ‹Previous chapterGalatians 1Next chapterGalatians 3›Similar passagesBy tradition and source labelFind similarCompare selectedCompare with similarAsk Deep ThoughtSelect passages to search for parallels.VersionsGalatians 2 across 9 versionsShow all 9WEB - World English BibleKJV - King James VersionASV - American Standard VersionDarby - Darby BibleYLT - Young's Literal TranslationWebster - Webster BibleGeneva - Geneva BibleDouay - Douay-Rheims ChallonerRV1909 - Reina-Valera 1909Tap any verse to select it, then compare selected passages or ask Deep Thought.
