Do not frustrate or reject the grace of God

Do not frustrate or reject the grace of God – Galations 2:16-21

Galations 2:16-21

¹⁶ Knowing that a man is not justified (set forth as righteous) by (out from) the works (work, deed, then that which is brought into being or accomplished by labor) of the law (God’s divine law not merely the conception), but (except) by (through) the faith of Jesus Christ, even we (also) have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by (though) the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no (not all) flesh be justified.

¹⁷ But if, while we seek to be justified by (resting within) Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.

¹⁸ For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.

¹⁹ For I through (passing through) the law am dead (died) to the law, that I might live unto (motion to) God.

²⁰ I am (have been)crucified (nailed or staked to a tree) with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not (no longer) I, but Christ liveth in (resting within) me: and the life which (in what respect) I now live in the flesh I live by (through) the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

²¹ I do not frustrate (reject) the grace (kind, affectionate disposition) of God: for if righteousness come by (through) the law, then Christ is dead (died) in vain.
