Galatians 3:14-18

14He redeemed us in order thatG2443 theG3588 blessing promisedG2129 to AbrahamG111 would comeG1096 toG1519 theG3588 GentilesG1484 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, so thatG2443 byG1223 faithG4102 we might receiveG2983 theG3588 promiseG1860 of theG3588 SpiritG4151.

15BrothersG80, let me put thisG3004 in human termsG2596G444. EvenG3676 a human covenantG1242G444, once it is ratifiedG2964, cannotG3762 be canceledG114 orG2228 amendedG1928. 16TheG3588 promisesG1860 were spokenG2046 to AbrahamG11 andG2532 toG3588 hisG846 seedG4690. The Scripture does not sayG3756G3004, “andG2532 to seedsG4690,” meaningG5613G1909 manyG4183, butG235 “andG2532 toG3588 yourG4771 seedG4690,”2 meaningG5613G1909 OneG1520, whoG3739 isG1510 ChristG5547.

What I meanG3004 is thisG3778: The lawG3551 that cameG1096 430G5071G2532G5144 yearsG2094 laterG3326 does not revokeG3756G208 the covenantG1242 previously establishedG4300 byG5259 GodG2316, so asG1519 to nullifyG2673 theG3588 promiseG1860. 18ForG1063 ifG1487 theG3588 inheritanceG2817 depends onG1537 the lawG3551, then it no longerG3765 depends onG1537 a promiseG1860; butG1161 GodG2316 freely grantedG5483 it to AbrahamG11 throughG1223 a promiseG1860.
