19. I stopped living for the law. It was the law that put me to death. I died to the law so that I can now live for God. I was put to death on the cross with Christ.
20. I do not live anymore—it is Christ living in me. I still live in my body, but I live by faith in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself to save me.
21. This gift is from God, and it is very important to me. If the law could make us right with God, then Christ did not have to die.
