King James Version (Oxford) 1769

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

Amplified Bible - Classic Edition

²¹ [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.]

American Standard Version (1901)

²¹ I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought.

Common English Bible

²¹ I don’t ignore the grace of God, because if we become righteous through the Law, then Christ died for no purpose.

Catholic Public Domain Version

²¹ I do not reject the grace of God. For if justice is through the law, then Christ died in vain.
