galatians 2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

galatians 2:21 "I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness [comes] through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

21. I do not frustrate the grace of God--I do not make it void, as thou, Peter, art doing by Judaizing.
for--justifying the strong expression "frustrate," or "make void."
is dead in vain--Greek, "Christ died needlessly," or "without just cause." Christ's having died, shows that the law has no power to justify us; for if the law can justify or make us righteous, the death of Christ is superfluous [CHRYSOSTOM].

galatians 2:21 "I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness [comes] through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."
