Galatians 2:14-16
1599 Geneva Bible
14 But when I saw, that they went not the [a]right way to the [b]truth of the Gospel, I said unto Peter before all men, If thou being a Jew, livest as the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, why [c]constrainest thou the Gentiles to do like the Jews?
15 [d]We which are Jews [e]by nature, and not [f]sinners of the Gentiles,
16 Know that a man is not justified by the works of the Law, but by the faith [g]of Jesus Christ, even we, I say, have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the Law, because that by the works of the Law, [h]no flesh shall be justified.
