²¹ I do not make void the grace of God, for if righteousness `be' through law -- then Christ died in vain.

²¹ the law, then, `is' against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

² lo, I Paul do say to you, that if ye be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing;

³ and I testify again to every man circumcised, that he is a debtor to do the whole law;

⁴ ye were freed from the Christ, ye who in law are declared righteous; from the grace ye fell away;

¹¹ If indeed, then, perfection were through the Levitical priesthood -- for the people under it had received law -- what further need, according to the order of Melchisedek, for another priest to arise, and not to be called according to the order of Aaron?

¹⁶ having known also that a man is not declared righteous by works of law, if not through the faith of Jesus Christ, also we in Christ Jesus did believe, that we might be declared righteous by the faith of Christ, and not by works of law, wherefore declared righteous by works of law shall be no flesh.'

¹⁴ and if Christ hath not risen, then void `is' our preaching, and void also your faith,

⁶ and if by grace, no more of works, otherwise the grace becometh no more grace; and if of works, it is no more grace, otherwise the work is no more work.

² through which also ye are being saved, in what words I proclaimed good news to you, if ye hold fast, except ye did believe in vain,

³ for not knowing the righteousness of God, and their own righteousness seeking to establish, to the righteousness of God they did not submit.

⁹ And he said to them, `Well do ye put away the command of God that your tradition ye may keep;

⁴ And I said, `For a vain thing I laboured, For emptiness and vanity my power I consumed, But my judgment `is' with Jehovah, And my wage with my God.

¹⁸ for if the things I threw down, these again I build up, a transgressor I set myself forth;

³¹ What, then, shall we say unto these things? if God `is' for us, who `is' against us?

¹⁷ and if Christ hath not risen, vain is your faith, ye are yet in your sins;
