Galatians 3:17-24
English Standard Version
Galatians 3:17-24
English Standard Version
17 This is what I mean: the law, which came (A)430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as (B)to make the promise void. 18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but (C)God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
19 Why then the law? (D)It was added because of transgressions, (E)until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was (F)put in place through angels (G)by an intermediary. 20 Now (H)an intermediary implies more than one, but (I)God is one.
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For (J)if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture (K)imprisoned everything under sin, so that (L)the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given (M)to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, (N)imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, (O)the law was our (P)guardian until Christ came, (Q)in order that we might be justified by faith.

Galatians 3:17-24
New International Version
Galatians 3:17-24
New International Version
17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years(A) later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. 18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise;(B) but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions(C) until the Seed(D) to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels(E) and entrusted to a mediator.(F) 20 A mediator,(G) however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not!(H) For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.(I) 22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin,(J) so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Children of God
23 Before the coming of this faith,[a] we were held in custody(K) under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.(L) 24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came(M) that we might be justified by faith.(N)

Hebrews 10:3-12
English Standard Version
Hebrews 10:3-12
English Standard Version
3 But (A)in these sacrifices (B)there is a reminder of sins every year. 4 For (C)it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.
5 Consequently, (D)when Christ[a] came into the world, he said,
(E)“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired,
but a body have you prepared for me;
6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings
you have taken no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God,
as it is written of me in the scroll of the book.’”
8 When he said above, “You have neither desired nor taken pleasure in (F)sacrifices and offerings and burnt offerings and sin offerings” (these are offered according to the law), 9 then he added, (G)“Behold, I have come to do your will.” He does away with the first in order to establish the second. 10 And by that will (H)we have been sanctified through the offering of (I)the body of Jesus Christ (J)once for all.
11 And every priest stands (K)daily at his service, (L)offering repeatedly the same sacrifices, (M)which can never take away sins. 12 But when Christ[b] had offered for all time a single sacrifice for sins, he (N)sat down at the right hand of God,

3 But those sacrifices are an annual reminder of sins.(A) 4 It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats(B) to take away sins.(C)
5 Therefore, when Christ came into the world,(D) he said:
“Sacrifice and offering you did not desire,
but a body you prepared for me;(E)
6 with burnt offerings and sin offerings
you were not pleased.
7 Then I said, ‘Here I am—it is written about me in the scroll(F)—
I have come to do your will, my God.’”[a](G)
8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”(H)—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.”(I) He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy(J) through the sacrifice of the body(K) of Jesus Christ once for all.(L)
11 Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,(M) which can never take away sins.(N) 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,(O) he sat down at the right hand of God,(P)
