Bible verse
For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
Galatians 2:19 · BSB
The verses around it, from Galatians 2.
15 We who are Jews by birth and not Gentile “sinners”
16 know that a man is not justified by works of the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17 But if, while we seek to be justified in Christ, we ourselves are found to be sinners, does that make Christ a minister of sin? Certainly not!
18 If I rebuild what I have already torn down, I prove myself to be a lawbreaker.
19 For through the law I died to the law so that I might live to God.
20 I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.
21 I do not set aside the grace of God. For if righteousness comes through the law, Christ died for nothing.

For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.
ERV
For I through the law died unto the law, that I might live unto God.
