It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. It was administered through angels by a mediator.

For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, 'You shall not covet.' 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. 9 At one time I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin came to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity provided by the commandment, deceived me and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good. 13 Did what is good then become death to me? Certainly not! But sin, in order to be recognized as sin, used what is good to bring about my death, so that sin might become utterly sinful through the commandment. 14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.

  • Rom 7:25 : 25 Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.
  • Gal 5:18-23 : 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

    21Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.

    22But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise, by faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.

    23Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.

    24So the law was our guardian until Christ came, so that we might be justified by faith.

    25Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

    13For the promise to Abraham or his descendants that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law but through the righteousness of faith.

    14For if those who are of the law inherit, faith is made void, and the promise is nullified.

    15For the law brings wrath, and where there is no law, there is no transgression.

    16Therefore, the promise comes by faith, that it may be according to grace, so that it might be guaranteed to all the offspring—not only to those who are of the law, but also to those who share the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.
