Galatians 3:15-19
151BrethrenG80, 2I speakG3004 3in termsG2596 of humanG444 relationsG444: 4evenG3676 thoughG3676 it is only a man’sG444 5covenantG1242, yetG3676 when it has been ratifiedG2964, noG3762 oneG3762 setsG114 it asideG114 orG2228 addsG1928 6conditionsG1928 to it. 16NowG1161 the promisesG1860 were spokenG3004 7to AbrahamG11 and to his seedG4690. He does not sayG3004, “And to seedsG4690,” as referring to manyG4183, but rather to oneG1520, “8And to your seedG4690,” that is, ChristG5547. 17What I am sayingG3004 is thisG3778: the LawG3551, which cameG1096 9fourG5071 hundredG5071 and thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 laterG3326, does not invalidateG208 a covenantG1242 previouslyG4300 ratifiedG4300 by GodG2316, soG1519 as to nullifyG2673 the promiseG1860. 18For 10ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 is 11basedG1537 on lawG3551, it is noG3765 longerG3765 12basedG1537 on a promiseG1860; but 13GodG2316 has grantedG5483 it to AbrahamG11 by meansG1223 of a promiseG1860.
1914WhyG5101 the LawG3551 thenG3767? It was addedG4369 15becauseG5484 of transgressionsG3847, having been 16ordainedG1299 throughG1223 angelsG32 17by the 18agencyG5495 of a mediatorG3316, untilG891 19the seedG4690 would comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promiseG1861 had been madeG1861.
