Galatians 2:17 in Context — Galatians 2
15 Nous, nous sommes Juifs de naissance, et non pécheurs d’entre les païens.
16 Néanmoins, sachant que ce n’est pas par les œuvres de la loi que l’homme est justifié, mais par la foi en Jésus-Christ, nous aussi nous avons cru en Jésus-Christ, afin d’être justifiés par la foi en Christ et non par les œuvres de la loi, parce que nulle chair ne sera justifiée par les œuvres de la loi.
17 Mais, tandis que nous cherchons à être justifiés par Christ, si nous étions aussi nous-mêmes trouvés pécheurs, Christ serait-il un ministre du péché? Loin de là!
18 Car, si je rebâtis les choses que j’ai détruites, je me constitue moi-même un transgresseur,
19 car c’est par la loi que je suis mort à la loi, afin de vivre pour Dieu.
