Galatians 2:20-21 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me… The living Person in whom we trust, not the system of precepts which we follow, or of dogmas which we receive, is the centre of the Christian society. The name by which religion in all subsequent times has been known is not an outward "ceremonial" (θρήσκεια) as with the Greeks, nor an outward "restraint" (religio) as among the Romans, nor an outward "law" as among the Jews; it is by that far higher and deeper title which it first received from the mouth of St. Paul, "the faith." (Dean Stanley.) Parallel Verses KJV: I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. |
