¹⁶ Now the promises were spoken ^(A)to Abraham and to his seed. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as one would in referring to many, but rather as in referring to one, “^(B)And to your seed,” that is, Christ.

^19 (A)Why the Law then? It was added on account of the ^[a]violations, having been ^(B)ordered through angels ^(C)at the hand of a ^[b]mediator, until ^(D)the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

²⁴ Therefore the Law has become our ^[a](A)guardian to lead us to Christ, so that ^(B)we may be justified by faith. ²⁵ But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a ^[b](C)guardian.
