Galatians 2:17 in Context — Galatians 2
15 Nós, que somos judeus por natureza, e não pecadores dentre os gentios,
16 sabemos que o ser humano não é justificado pelas obras da Lei, mas sim pela fé em Jesus Cristo. Também nós temos crido em Cristo Jesus, para que fôssemos justificados pela fé em Cristo, e não pelas obras da Lei; pois ninguém se justificará pelas obras da Lei.
17 Mas se nós, que buscamos ser justificados em Cristo, também nós mesmos somos achados pecadores, por isso Cristo contribui com o pecado? De maneira nenhuma!
18 Pois, se volto a construir as coisas que já destruí, provo que eu mesmo cometi transgressão.
19 Pois pela Lei estou morto para a Lei, a fim de que eu viva para Deus.
