Galatians 3:16-21
English Standard Version
16 Now (A)the promises were made (B)to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, (C)“And to your offspring,” who is Christ. 17 This is what I mean: the law, which came (D)430 years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as (E)to make the promise void. 18 For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but (F)God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
19 Why then the law? (G)It was added because of transgressions, (H)until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was (I)put in place through angels (J)by an intermediary. 20 Now (K)an intermediary implies more than one, but (L)God is one.
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For (M)if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.
