Galatians 2:20

The cross and atonement Jesus Christ Identity and self-worth Faith

¹⁸ If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.

¹⁹ For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.

I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

²¹ I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
