Galatians 2:14-16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁴ But when I saw that they were not being straightforward with the truth of the gospel, I said to Cephas in the presence of them all, “If you, although you^[a] are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you try to compel the Gentiles to live like Jews?”

Justified by Faith in Christ

¹⁵ We are Jews by nature and not sinners from among the Gentiles, ¹⁶ but knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the law, if not by faith in Jesus Christ,^[b] and we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we may be justified by faith in Christ^[c] and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified^[d].
