1 Corinthians 15 - Galatians 3:25

After finishing both First and Second Corinthians I think those may be my least knowledgeable books in the New Testament. Perhaps a self-guided study is in order following my marathon of reading (which only has five days remaining).

I really liked how Paul summarized the Gospel in Galatians 3. I especially liked the NLT's translation of it...realizing that it may have a few glitches...again more study may be needed. Here it is:

Is there a conflict, then, between God's law and God's promises?s Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.22 But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God's promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ. 23 Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed.
