Verse 16
Galatians 2:16
New Living Translation
16
Yet we know that a person is made right with God (Elohim) by faith in Yashua (Jesus) Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Yashua (Jesus), so that we might be made right with God (Elohim) because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God (Elohim) by obeying the law.”

εἰδότες ⸀δὲ ὅτι οὐ δικαιοῦται ἄνθρωπος ἐξ ἔργων νόμου ἐὰν μὴ διὰ πίστεως ⸂Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ⸃, καὶ ἡμεῖς εἰς Χριστὸν Ἰησοῦν ἐπιστεύσαμεν, ἵνα δικαιωθῶμεν ἐκ πίστεως Χριστοῦ καὶ οὐκ ἐξ ἔργων νόμου, ⸂ὅτι ἐξ ἔργων νόμου οὐ δικαιωθήσεται⸃ πᾶσα σάρξ.
English Translation
Knowing that a person is not justified by works of the law if not through faith in Jesus Christ, and we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no flesh will be justified.
