Galatians 3:19-22
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
The Law Was Added Because of Transgressions, Until The Christ Should Come
19 Why then the Law? It was added because of the transgressions until which time the Seed should come to Whom the promise has been made, having been commanded[a] through angels by the hand of a mediator[b]. 20 Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of [only] one [party], but God is one[c].
The Law Served To Lead Us To Faith In Christ So As To Inherit The Abrahamic Promises
21 Is the Law then against the promises of God? May it never be! For if a Law being able to give-life had been given, righteousness really would have been by the Law! 22 But the Scripture confined all things under[d] sin, in order that the promise by faith[e] in Jesus Christ might be given to the ones believing.
