Galatians:3:15-25

* Brothers , speaking of human terms , though it is only a man 's covenant , yet when it has been confirmed , no one makes it void , or adds to it . * Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed . He doesn 't say , "To seeds ," as of many , but as of one , "To your seed ," {Genesis strkjv @12:7 ; strkjv @13:15 ; strkjv @24:7 } which is Christ . * Now I say this . A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ , the law , which came four hundred thirty years after , does not annul , so as to make the promise of no effect . * For if the inheritance is of the law , it is no more of promise ; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise . * What then is the law ? It was added because of transgressions , until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made . It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator . * Now a mediator is not between one , but God is one . * Is the law then against the promises of God ? Certainly not ! For if there had been a law given which could make alive , most certainly righteousness would have been of the law . * But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin , that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe . * But before faith came , we were kept in custody under the law , confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed . * So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ , that we might be justified by faith . * But now that faith has come , we are no longer under a tutor .
