Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) And if by grace.--The true text of this verse differs considerably from that which is translated in the Authorised version, "But if by grace, then is it no more of works, otherwise grace is no more seen to be grace."The preservation of the remnant cannot be due to grace and works at the same time; it must be due to one or the other.Parallel Commentaries ...GreekAndδὲ (de)ConjunctionStrong's 1161: A primary particle; but, and, etc.if [it is]εἰ (ei)ConjunctionStrong's 1487: If.
