Galatians 2:21–3:1

21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? Before your very eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed as crucified.

21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose.

1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified.

21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?

21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

1 Oh, foolish Galatians! Who has cast an evil spell on you? For the meaning of Jesus Christ’s death was made as clear to you as if you had seen a picture of his death on the cross.

21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.”

1 O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was clearly portrayed among you as crucified?

21 By saying these things I am not going against God’s grace. Just the opposite, if the law could make us right with God, then Christ’s death would be useless.

1 You people in Galatia were told very clearly about the death of Jesus Christ on the cross. But you were foolish; you let someone trick you.

21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness is by law, then Christ has died for nothing.

1 O senseless Galatians, who has bewitched you; to whom, as before your very eyes, Jesus Christ has been portrayed, crucified among you?

21 I don’t reject God’s kindness.If we receive God’s approval by obeying the laws in the Scriptures, then Christ’s death was pointless. 

1 You stupid people of Galatia! Who put you under an evil spell? Wasn’t Christ Jesus’ crucifixion clearly described to you?

21 I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

1 You foolish Galatians! Who has hypnotized you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was vividly portrayed as crucified?

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

1 You foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly exhibited as crucified!

21 I do not declare invalid the grace of God, for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died to no purpose.

1 O foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as having been crucified?

21 I do not get rid of the grace of God. What if a person could become right with God by obeying the law? Then Christ died for nothing!

1 You foolish people of Galatia! Who has put you under an evil spell? When I preached, I clearly showed you that Jesus Christ had been nailed to the cross.

21 “I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.”

1 You foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified?
