Galatians 3:17-19

17What I am sayingG3004 is thisG3778: the LawG3551, which cameG1096 1430G5071G5144 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 onG5484 accountG5484 ofG5484 the 7violationsG3847, having been 8orderedG1299 throughG1223 angelsG32 9at the handG5495 of a 10mediatorG3316, untilG891 11the SeedG4690 would comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promiseG1861 had been madeG1861.
