Galatians 2:16 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 2:16

14 But when I saw that they were not straightforward about ^athe truth of the gospel, I said to Peter ^bbefore them all, ^c“If you, being a Jew, live in the manner of Gentiles and not as the Jews,¹ why do you compel Gentiles to live as² Jews?

15 ^aWe who are Jews by nature, and not ^bsinners of the Gentiles,

16 ^aknowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but ^bby faith in Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not ^cby the works of the law; for by the works of the law no flesh shall be justified.

17 “But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found ^asinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!

18 For if I build again those things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

19 For I ^athrough the law ^bdied to the law that I might ^clive to God.
