Galatians 3:17-24

17NowG1161 this I sayG3004: A covenantG1242 confirmed beforehand by GodG2316, the lawG3551, which cameG1096 fourG5071 hundredG5071 and thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 after, doth not disannul, so as to make the promiseG1860 of none effect. 18For if the inheritanceG2817 is of the lawG3551, it is no more of promiseG1860: but GodG2316 hath grantedG5483 it to AbrahamG11 by promiseG1860. 19What thenG3767 is the lawG3551? It was addedG4369 because of transgressionsG3847, till the seedG4690 should comeG2064 to whom the promiseG1861 hath been made; and it was ordained through angelsG32 by the handG5495 of a mediatorG3316. 20NowG1161 a mediatorG3316 isG1510 not a mediatorG3316 of oneG1520; but GodG2316 isG1510 oneG1520. 21IsG1510 the lawG3551 thenG3767 against the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? GodG2316 forbid: for if there had beenG1510 a lawG3551 givenG1325 which could make aliveG2227, verily righteousnessG1343 would have beenG1510 of the lawG3551. 22But the scriptureG1124 shut up all thingsG3956 under sinG266, that the promiseG1860 by faithG4102 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to them that believeG4100.

23But before faithG4102 cameG2064, we were kept in ward under the lawG3551, shut up unto the faithG4102 which should afterwards be revealedG601. 24SoG2443 that the lawG3551 is becomeG1096 our tutor to bring us unto ChristG5547, that we might be justifiedG1344 by faithG4102.
