18. If I rebuild the system I tore down, I show myself to be a lawbreaker.
19. For through the law I have died to the law, so that I might live for God. I have been crucified with Christ
20. and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.
21. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
