Galatians 5:4
Galatians 5:4 New Living Translation (NLT)
For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God’s grace.
Galatians 5:4-6 The Message (MSG)
I suspect you would never intend this, but this is what happens. When you attempt to live by your own religious plans and projects, you are cut off from Christ, you fall out of grace. Meanwhile we expectantly wait for a satisfying relationship with the Spirit. For in Christ, neither our most conscientious religion nor disregard of religion amounts to anything. What matters is something far more interior: faith expressed in love.
Galatians 5:4 King James Version (KJV)
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Galatians 5:4 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Galatians 5:4 New Century Version (NCV)
If you try to be made right with God through the law, your life with Christ is over—you have left God’s grace.
Galatians 5:4 American Standard Version (ASV)
Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.
Galatians 5:4 New International Version (NIV)
You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
Galatians 5:4 New King James Version (NKJV)
You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.
Galatians 5:4 Amplified Bible (AMP)
You have been severed from Christ, if you seek to be justified [that is, declared free of the guilt of sin and its penalty, and placed in right standing with God] through the Law; you have fallen from grace [for you have lost your grasp on God’s unmerited favor and blessing].
