Justified by Faith

15We ourselves are Jews by birth and not rGentile sinners; 16yet we know that sa person is not justified
Or counted righteous (three times in verse 16); also verse 17
by works of the law ubut through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, vbecause by works of the law no one will be justified.

Galatians 5:2-5

2Look: I, Paul, say to you that wif you accept circumcision, xChrist will be of no advantage to you. 3I testify again to every man who accepts circumcision that yhe is obligated to keep the whole law. 4You are zsevered from Christ, aayou who would be justified
Or counted righteous
by the law; acyou have fallen away from grace.
5For through the Spirit, by faith, we ourselves eagerly adwait for the hope of righteousness.
