Galatians 2:21

2:21 I do not set aside ¹  God’s grace, because if righteousness ²  could come through the law, then Christ died for nothing! ³

Galatians 6:16

6:16 And all who will behave ⁸  in accordance with this rule, peace and mercy be on them, and on the Israel of God. ⁹ 

[2:21]  ¹ tn Or “I do not declare invalid,” “I do not nullify.”

[2:21]  ² tn Or “justification.”

[2:21]  ³ tn Or “without cause,” “for no purpose.”

[3:11]  ⁴ tn Or “The one who is righteous by faith will live” (a quotation from Hab 2:4).

[3:18]  ⁷ tn On the translation “graciously gave” for χαρίζομαι (carizomai) see L&N 57.102.

[6:7]  ¹⁰ tn Or “is not mocked,” “will not be ridiculed” (L&N 33.409). BDAG 660 s.v. μυκτηρίζω has “of God οὐ μ. he is not to be mocked, treated w. contempt, perh. outwitted Gal 6:7.”

[6:7]  ¹¹ tn Here ἄνθρωπος (anqrwpo") is used in a generic sense, referring to both men and women.

[6:16]  ¹³ tn The same Greek verb, στοιχέω (stoicew), occurs in Gal 5:25.

[6:16]  ¹⁴ tn The word “and” (καί) can be interpreted in two ways: (1) It could be rendered as “also” which would indicate that two distinct groups are in view, namely “all who will behave in accordance with this rule” and “the Israel of God.” Or (2) it could be rendered “even,” which would indicate that “all who behave in accordance with this rule” are “the Israel of God.” In other words, in this latter view, “even” = “that is.”
