Galatia 3:17-22

3:17 What I am saying is this: The law that came four hundred thirty years later does not cancel a covenant previously ratified by God, ¹  so as to invalidate the promise. 3:18 For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise, but God graciously gave ²  it to Abraham through the promise.

3:19 Why then was the law given? ³  It was added ⁴  because of transgressions, ⁵  until the arrival of the descendant ⁶  to whom the promise had been made. It was administered ⁷  through angels by an intermediary. ⁸  3:20 Now an intermediary is not for one party alone, but God is one. ⁹  3:21 Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? ¹⁰  Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. ¹¹  3:22 But the scripture imprisoned ¹²  everything and everyone ¹³  under sin so that the promise could be given – because of the faithfulness ¹⁴  of Jesus Christ – to those who believe.
