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.

¹⁹ Why then the law? ^(A)It was added because of transgressions, ^(B)until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was ^(C)put in place through angels ^(D)by an intermediary.

²⁹ And ^(A)if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, ^(B)heirs according to promise.
