Galatians 1; 2 Peter 1; Galatians 2

Thank you, father, for your grace and peace through Jesus, your Christ, and my Lord. It pleased you to call me through your grace to reveal your son in me.

By your gospel, written in words of life, I know that the Lord Jesus Christ gave himself for my sins so as to deliver me from this evil age. That is your gospel, and it came by revelation to your apostles. They wrote it down as you led them, and there is no other gospel.

Your gospel clearly informs me that I am not justified by works of the law. Instead, I am justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. The works of the law cannot justify anyone.

For I died to the law that I might live to you, father. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in Jesus, the Son of God, who loves me and gave himself for me.
