Galatians 2:16
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.

Galatians is Paul's fiercest letter, written to believers who were being told they must add Jewish law-keeping to faith in Christ. Paul responds with passion: the gospel is grace through faith, and to add anything to it is to desert the gospel itself.
Its 6 chapters and 149 verses give the letter's great theme — "a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ" (Galatians 2:16) — and its famous fruit: "the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith" (Galatians 5:22). Paul also proclaims the liberty that belongs to every believer: "stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free" (Galatians 5:1), and "walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh" (Galatians 5:16).
