Galatians 3:21

* The two F.O.G. Bibles & Commentary below are currently a work in progress.

Is the law, then, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come from the law.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
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.
World English Bible (WEB)
Is the law{G3551} then{G3767} against{G2596} the promises{G1860} of God{G2316}? God forbid{G3361}{G1096}{(G5636)}: for{G1063} if{G1487} there had been{G1325} a law{G3551} given{G1325}{(G5681)} which{G3588} could{G1410}{(G5740)} have given life{G2227}{(G5658)}, verily{G3689} righteousness{G1343} should{G302} have been{G2258}{(G5713)} by{G1537} the law{G3551}.
Strong's King James

The F.O.G Paraphrase
