16know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!
18If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
19For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
— Galatians 2:16-19
