I am getting a tatoo on my back of the phrase, But For The Grace of God, and I would like it to be in Latin instead of in English. Obviously I want to see how it translates and what it looks like before I have it done....

@edd3399,

I'd translate it:
Nisi Gratia Dei

. . . but as I always say when someone requests a translation for a tattoo,
please have someone else review this; I'm not a professional Latin scholar,
just a guy who does this for fun.
