    14He redeemed us so that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

    15Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life: Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly ratified, so it is in this case.

    16Now to Abraham the promises were spoken, and to his seed. It does not say, 'and to seeds,' as if referring to many, but, 'and to your seed,' meaning one, who is Christ.

    17This is what I mean: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus cancel the promise.

    18For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God gave it to Abraham through a promise.
