加拉太书2:17-21
17我们若求在基督里称义，却仍旧是罪人，难道基督是叫人犯罪的吗？断乎不是。18我素来所拆毁的，若重新建造，这就证明自己是犯罪的人。19我因律法就向律法死了，叫我可以向神活着。20我已经与基督同钉十字架。现在活着的，不再是我，乃是基督在我里面活着。并且我如今在肉身活着，是因信神的儿子而活，他是爱我，为我舍己。21我不废掉神的恩。义若是藉着律法得的，基督就是徒然死了。
17But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not! 18Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down. 19For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. 20My old self has been crucified with Christ.#2:20 Some English translations put this sentence in verse 19. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.
