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.

我不废掉神的恩；义若是藉着律法得的，基督就是徒然死了。

我不废掉上帝的恩；如果义是藉着律法而获得，那么基督就白白死了。

我不废掉神的恩；如果义是藉着律法而获得，那么基督就白白死了。

我不废弃上帝的恩典，倘若靠遵行律法可以成为义人，基督的死便毫无意义了。

我不废弃神的恩；如果义是藉着律法而来的，基督就白白地死了。

我不弃绝神的恩典，因为义如果是藉着律法而来的，那么，基督就白白地死了。

我不廢掉神的恩；義若是藉着律法得的，基督就是徒然死了。

我不廢掉上帝的恩；如果義是藉着律法而獲得，那麼基督就白白死了。

我不廢掉神的恩；如果義是藉着律法而獲得，那麼基督就白白死了。

我不廢棄上帝的恩典，倘若靠遵行律法可以成為義人，基督的死便毫無意義了。

我不廢棄神的恩；如果義是藉著律法而來的，基督就白白地死了。

我不廢棄上帝的恩；稱義的事若是憑着律法可得，基督就白死了。

我不棄絕神的恩典，因為義如果是藉著律法而來的，那麼，基督就白白地死了。

我不虛上帝之恩、蓋義若由律、則基督之死為徒然矣、

我不負上帝恩、若恃法而稱義、則基督之死徒然矣、

我不棄天主恩、若由律法可得稱義、則基督之死徒然矣、

吾寧能辜負天主之恩寵哉？苟尚緣律法而求義、則基督之死、為徒然矣。』

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 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 comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.

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

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

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

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

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

I do not set aside God’s grace, because if righteousness could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing!

I don’t reject the grace of God. For if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nothing!”

Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.

And since it is through God’s kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God’s grace would not be what it really is— free and undeserved.

So if the priesthood of Levi, on which the law was based, could have achieved the perfection God intended, why did God need to establish a different priesthood, with a priest in the order of Melchizedek instead of the order of Levi and Aaron?

Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.”

And if Christ has not been raised, then all our preaching is useless, and your faith is useless.

Listen! I, Paul, tell you this: If you are counting on circumcision to make you right with God, then Christ will be of no benefit to you.I’ll say it again. If you are trying to find favor with God by being circumcised, you must obey every regulation in the whole law of Moses.For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.

I replied,“ But my work seems so useless! I have spent my strength for nothing and to no purpose. Yet I leave it all in the Lord’s hand; I will trust God for my reward.”

It is this Good News that saves you if you continue to believe the message I told you— unless, of course, you believed something that was never true in the first place.

For they don’t understand God’s way of making people right with himself. Refusing to accept God’s way, they cling to their own way of getting right with God by trying to keep the law.

Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down.

What shall we say about such wonderful things as these? If God is for us, who can ever be against us?

Then he said,“ You skillfully sidestep God’s law in order to hold on to your own tradition.

And if Christ has not been raised, then your faith is useless and you are still guilty of your sins.

The Lord frustrates the plans of the nations and thwarts all their schemes.

“‘ How can you say,“ We are wise because we have the word of the Lord,” when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?
