Galatians 3:16-19
New King James Version
16 Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of (A)one, (B)“And to your Seed,” who is (C)Christ. 17 And this I say, that the law, (D)which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God [a]in Christ, (E)that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if (F)the inheritance is of the law, (G)it is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Purpose of the Law
19 What purpose then does the law serve? (H)It was added because of transgressions, till the (I)Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was (J)appointed through angels by the hand (K)of a mediator.
