Galatians 3:14-18
New King James Version
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. 17 And this I say, that the law, (I)which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God [a]in Christ, (J)that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if (K)the inheritance is of the law, (L)it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
