Second Reading for 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time – Year C - Daily Catholic Mass Reading

Brothers and sisters: We who know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, even we 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.

For through the law I died to the law, that I might live for God.

I have been crucified with Christ; yet I live, no longer I, but Christ lives in me; insofar as I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God who has loved me and given himself up for me.

I do not nullify the grace of God; for if justification comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
