Wednesday
Galatians 2:14
When I saw that they were not following the truth of the Good News, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you are a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you trying to make these Gentiles obey the Jewish laws you abandoned?
Thursday
Galatians 2:15
“You and I are Jews by birth, not ‘sinners’ like the Gentiles.
Friday
Galatians 2:16
“And yet we Jewish Christians know that we become right with God not by doing what the law commands, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be accepted by God because of our faith in Christ–not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be saved by obeying the law.”
