Galatians 2:15

We, by nature Jews, and not sinners from among the nations,

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,

In Context

16Knowing, however, that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, [nor at all] save through faith in Christ Jesus; even we, on Christ Jesus, believed, that we might be declared righteous—by faith in Christ, and not by works of law; because, by works of law, shall no flesh be declared righteous.
