Galatians 3:17-24
King James Version
17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, 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
King James Version
3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year.
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins.
5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure.
7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God.
8 Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;
9 Then said he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. He taketh away the first, that he may establish the second.
10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:
12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on 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)
