Galatians 2:21

Greek/English Interlinear with Strong’s Numbers


King James Version

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

I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.
New American Standard Bible

“I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law (or, law), then Christ died needlessly.”
New International Version

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

[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.]
Wuest’s Expanded Translation

I do not thwart the efficacy of the grace of God. For if through law comes righteousness, then Christ died to no purpose.
Phillips’ Modern English

I refuse to make nonsense of the grace of God! For if righteousness were possible under the Law then Christ died for nothing.
Williams’ Language of the People

I never can nullify the unmerited favor of God. For if right standing with God could come through law, then Christ died for nothing.
