Galatians 2:17

Greek/English Interlinear with Strong’s Numbers


King James Version

But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
New King James Version

“But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves are found sinners, is Christ therefore a minister of sin? Certainly not!
New American Standard Bible

“But if, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we ourselves have also been found sinners, is Christ then a minister of sin? May it never be!
New International Version

“If, while we seek to be justified in Christ, it becomes evident that we ourselves are sinners, does that mean that Christ promotes sin? Absolutely not!
The Amplified Bible

But 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!]
Wuest’s Expanded Translation

But if, as is the case, while seeking to be justified in Christ, we [Jews] ourselves also were found to be sinners, is Christ therefore a promoter of sin? Away with the thought;
Phillips’ Modern English

Now if, as we seek justification in Christ, we find that we are ourselves as much sinners as the gentiles, does that mean that Christ is a producer of sin? Of course not!
Williams’ Language of the People

Now if, in our efforts to come into right standing with God through union with Christ, we have proved ourselves to be sinners like the heathen themselves, does that make Christ a party to our sin? Of course not.
