rsv Galatians:3:13-17 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law ,
having become a curse for us--for it is written , "
Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree "--
*
that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles ,
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith .
*
To give a human example ,
brethren :
no one annuls even a man '
s will ,
or adds to it ,
once it has been ratified .
*
Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring .
It does not say , "
And to offsprings ,"
referring to many ;
but ,
referring to one , "
And to your offspring ,"
which is Christ .
*
This is what I mean :
the law ,
which came four hundred and thirty years afterward ,
does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God ,
so as to make the promise void .
