Galatians 2:17 - Modern English VersionIf, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found to be sinners, is Christ therefore the minister of sin? God forbid! See the chapterMore versionsKing James Version (Oxford) 1769But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. See the chapterAmplified Bible - Classic EditionBut if, in our desire and endeavor to be justified in Christ [to be declared righteous and put in right standing with God wholly and solely through Christ], we have shown ourselves sinners also and convicted of sin, does that make Christ a minister (a party and contributor) to our sin? Banish the thought! [Of course not!] See the chapterAmerican Standard Version (1901)But if, while we sought to be justified in Christ, we ourselves also were found sinners, is Christ a minister of sin? God forbid. See the chapterCommon English BibleBut if it is discovered that we ourselves are sinners while we are trying to be made righteous in Christ, then is Christ a servant of sin? Absolutely not! See the chapterCatholic Public Domain VersionBut if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are also found to be sinners, would then Christ be the minister of sin? Let it not be so!
