Galatians 3:21 | |
NASB: Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law. (NASB ©1995) GWT: Does this mean, then, that the laws given to Moses contradict God's promises? That's unthinkable! If those laws could give us life, then certainly we would receive God's approval because we obeyed them. (GOD'S WORD®) KJV: Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. ASV: Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. BBE: Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. DBY: Is then the law against the promises of God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law; WEY: God, however, is only one. Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? No, indeed; for if a Law had been given which could have conferred Life, righteousness would certainly have come by the Law. WBS: Is the law then against the promises of God? By no means: for if there had been a law given which could give life, verily righteousness would have been by the law. WEB: Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law. YLT: 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, | |
