• Gal 3:16-21 : 16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He does not say, 'And to seeds,' as of many, but as of one, 'And to your seed,' which is Christ. 17 And this I say, that the covenant, which was confirmed before by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise, but God gave it to Abraham by promise. 19 Why then serves the law? It was added because of transgressions, until 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? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, then truly righteousness would have been by the law.
