Galatians 3:17-21
17What I am sayingG3004 is thisG3778: the LawG3551, which cameG1096 1fourG5071 hundredG5071 and thirtyG5144 yearsG2094 laterG3326, does not invalidateG208 a covenantG1242 previouslyG4300 ratifiedG4300 by GodG2316, soG1519 as to nullifyG2673 the promiseG1860. 18For 2ifG1487 the inheritanceG2817 is 3basedG1537 on lawG3551, it is noG3765 longerG3765 4basedG1537 on a promiseG1860; but 5GodG2316 has grantedG5483 it to AbrahamG11 by meansG1223 of a promiseG1860.
196WhyG5101 the LawG3551 thenG3767? It was addedG4369 7becauseG5484 of transgressionsG3847, having been 8ordainedG1299 throughG1223 angelsG32 9by the 10agencyG5495 of a mediatorG3316, untilG891 11the seedG4690 would comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promiseG1861 had been madeG1861. 20NowG1161 12a mediatorG3316 is not 13for oneG1520 party only; whereasG1161 GodG2316 is only oneG1520. 21Is the LawG3551 thenG3767 contraryG2596 to the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? 14May it neverG3361 be! For 15ifG1487 a lawG3551 had been givenG1325 which was ableG1410 to impartG2227 lifeG2227, then righteousnessG1343 16would indeedG3689 have beenG1510 17basedG1537 on lawG3551.
