21 I do not nullify the grace of God, for (A)if righteousness[a] were through the law, (B)then Christ died for no purpose.

By Faith, or by Works of the Law?

O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? (C)It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly (D)portrayed as crucified. Let me ask you only this: (E)Did you receive the Spirit by works of the law or by (F)hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? (G)Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by[b] the flesh?
