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

Verse 21 is found in chapter 2 of Galatians. Dying with Christ implies a new form of existence before God. Paul summarizes his experience by affirming that he no longer lives centered on himself, but that Christ lives in him; nullifying this grace through the law would empty Christ’s death of its meaning.

Ich werfe nicht weg die Gnade Gottes; denn so durch das Gesetz die Gerechtigkeit kommt, so ist Christus vergeblich gestorben.
No desecho la gracia de Dios: porque si por la ley fuese la justicia, entonces por demás murió Cristo.
No anulo la gracia de Dios, porque si la justicia viene por medio de la ley, entonces Cristo murió en vano».
Je ne rejette pas la grâce de Dieu; car si la justice s'obtient par la loi, Christ est donc mort en vain.
Io non annullo la grazia di Dio; perciocchè, se la giustizia è per la legge, Cristo dunque è morto in vano
Não aniquilo a graça de Deus; porque, se a justiça provém da lei, segue-se que Cristo morreu debalde.
我不廢掉上帝的恩;如果義是藉著律法而獲得,那麼基督就白白死了。
