Galatians 2:20

Galatians 2:20

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.

20 I have been ^acrucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh ^bI live by faith in the Son of God, ^cwho loved me and gave Himself for me.

21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for ^aif righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died¹ in vain.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Galatians 2:19

Galatians 2:21 >>

The Apostle goes on to describe how he is freed from sin; how far he is from continuing therein. I am crucified with Christ - Made conformable to his death; "the body of sin is destroyed." Romans 6:6. And I - As to my corrupt nature. Live no longer - Being dead to sin. But Christ liveth in me - Is a fountain of life in my inmost soul, from which all my tempers, words, and actions flow. And the life that I now live in the flesh - Even in this mortal body, I live by faith in the Son of God - I derive every moment from that supernatural principle; from a divine evidence and conviction, that "he loved me, and delivered up himself for me."
