Galatians 2:16 King James Bible why KJB? the preposition “of” used in by the faith “of” Christ. The modern translations use “in”. Study the difference and you’ll find it Jesus Christ and not us who allows us to walk in righteousness and in verse 20 of Galatians our death on the cross allows us daily to walk in our sanctification to live saintly lives.
“Knowing 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.”
Galatians 2:20 King James Bible
“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.”
Fight the Good Fight Dear Christian - Strive Lawfully to Gain your Crown. Amen!
