Galatians 3:19-21
International Standard Version
The Purpose of the Law
19 Why, then, was the Law added?[a] Because of transgressions, until the descendant[b] came to whom the promise pertained. It was put into effect through angels by means of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator involves more than one party, but God is one. 21 So is the Law in conflict with the promises of God? Of course not! For if a law had been given that could give us life, then certainly righteousness would come through the Law.
