Galatians 3:17-21
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.
19WhyG5101 thenG3767 was theG3588 lawG3551 given? It was addedG4369 because ofG5484 transgressionsG3847, untilG891 the arrivalG2064 of theG3588 seedG4690 to whomG3739 the promise referredG1861. It was administeredG1299 throughG1223 angelsG32 byG1722 a mediatorG5495G3316. 20A mediatorG3316 isG1510 unnecessaryG3756, howeverG1161, for only oneG1520 party; butG1161 GodG2316 isG1510 oneG1520.
21Is theG3588 lawG3551, thenG3767, opposed toG2596 theG3588 promisesG1860 of GodG2316? Certainly notG3361G1096! ForG1063 ifG1487 a lawG3551 had been givenG1325 thatG3588 couldG1410 impart lifeG2227, thenG302 righteousnessG1343 would certainlyG3689 have comeG1510 fromG1537 the lawG3551.
