V 21 .......for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!’
Righteous can not be gained through keeping the law, but is given free to those who believe that Christ died and rose again.

Deacon Phil

"We are justified by faith in Christ and not by works" is not a good summary of what Jesus is saying. Jesus adds "of the law," which you have omitted, but it changes the meaning dramatically. "We are justified by faith in Christ and not by the law" is a much better summary.

What do you make of this chapter? What do you think of my summary? How would you summarise it?

I summarised all 1,189 chapters of the Bible on Twitter - one tweet per chapter, one chapter per day for over three years.

These are the summaries of the book of Galatians.

They are written to help you understand and remember what's going on in the chapter, but they're no substitute for reading the Bible for yourself.
