“I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing. — Paul's final argument: to insist on Torah as the path to dikaiosynē would render Christ's death ('apethanon') meaningless ('dōrean'), a blasphemous negation of grace itself; the exclusivity of Christ's redemption demands the exclusivity of faith.
