Galatians 2:21 - Common English BibleI don’t ignore the grace of God, because if we become righteous through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose. See the chapterMore versionsKing James Version (Oxford) 1769I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. See the chapterAmplified Bible - Classic Edition[Therefore, I do not treat God's gracious gift as something of minor importance and defeat its very purpose]; I do not set aside and invalidate and frustrate and nullify the grace (unmerited favor) of God. For if justification (righteousness, acquittal from guilt) comes through [observing the ritual of] the Law, then Christ (the Messiah) died groundlessly and to no purpose and in vain. [His death was then wholly superfluous.] See the chapterAmerican Standard Version (1901)I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought. See the chapterCatholic Public Domain VersionI do not reject the grace of God. For if justice is through the law, then Christ died in vain. See the chapterDouay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionI cast not away the grace of God. For if justice be by the law, then Christ died in vain. See the chapter |
