Galatians 2:17

---If, while we seek to be justified through the Meshiha, we also ourselves are found sinners, is Jeshu Meshiha therefore the minister of sin? It cannot be.

The Peschito Syriac New Testament: Translated into English by John Wesley Etheridge

In The 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.

In Context

18For, if those things which I destroyed I build again, I make it manifest of myself that I transgress the commandment.
