Galatians 2:21

English

²¹I 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!

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

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

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

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.

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

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