⁴ You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

⁴ 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.

⁴ You are alienated from Christ, you who desire to be justified by the law. You have fallen away from grace.

⁴ 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.

⁴ Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
