14But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?Select Galatians 2:14

15We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,Select Galatians 2:15

16Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.Select Galatians 2:16

17But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.Select Galatians 2:17

18For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.Select Galatians 2:18
