Galatians 3:4
Galatians 3:4 New International Version (NIV)
Have you experienced so much in vain—if it really was in vain?
Galatians 3:2-4 The Message (MSG)
Let me put this question to you: How did your new life begin? Was it by working your heads off to please God? Or was it by responding to God’s Message to you? Are you going to continue this craziness? For only crazy people would think they could complete by their own efforts what was begun by God. If you weren’t smart enough or strong enough to begin it, how do you suppose you could perfect it? Did you go through this whole painful learning process for nothing? It is not yet a total loss, but it certainly will be if you keep this up!
Galatians 3:4 King James Version (KJV)
Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
Galatians 3:4 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
Did you suffer so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
Galatians 3:4 New Century Version (NCV)
Were all your experiences wasted? I hope not!
Galatians 3:4 American Standard Version (ASV)
Did ye suffer so many things in vain? if it be indeed in vain.
Galatians 3:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
Have you suffered so many things in vain—if indeed it was in vain?
Galatians 3:4 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Have you suffered so many things and experienced so much all for nothing—if indeed it was all for nothing?
Galatians 3:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
Have you experienced so much for nothing? Surely it was not in vain, was it?
