14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might (A)come to the Gentiles, so that (B)we might receive (C)the promised Spirit[a] through faith.
The Law and the Promise
15 (D)To give a human example, brothers:[b] (E)even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. 16 Now (F)the promises were made (G)to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, (H)“And to your offspring,” who is Christ.

14 (A)that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the (B)Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive (C)the promise of the Spirit through faith.
The Changeless Promise(D)
15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: (E)Though it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it. 16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of (F)one, (G)“And to your Seed,” who is (H)Christ.
