15 We which are Iewes by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 Knowe that a man is not iustified by the works of the Law, but by ye faith of Iesus Christ, euen we, I say, haue beleeued in Iesus Christ, that we might be iustified by the faith of Christ, & not by the workes of the Lawe, because that by the workes of the Lawe, no flesh shalbe iustified. 17 If then while we seeke to be made righteous by Christ, we our selues are found sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sinne? God forbid. 18 For if I build againe the things that I haue destroyed, I make my selfe a trespasser. 19 For I through the Lawe am dead to the Lawe, that I might liue vnto God. 20 I am crucified with Christ, but I liue, yet not I any more, but Christ liueth in me: and in that that I now liue in the flesh, I liue by the faith in the Sonne of God, who hath loued me, and giuen him selfe for me. 21 I doe not abrogate the grace of God: for if righteousnes be by the Lawe, then Christ dyed without a cause.
