Galatians:3:15-25
nsb@Galatians:3:15 @ Brothers, I speak like a man speaks: Though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void, or adds to it.
nsb@Galatians:3:16 @ The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. He did not say to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to your seed, which is Christ.
nsb@Galatians:3:17 @ Now this I say: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.
nsb@Galatians:3:18 @ If the inheritance is based on the Law, it is no longer based on a promise. However God granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.
nsb@Galatians:3:19 @ What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
nsb@Galatians:3:20 @ A mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is one.
nsb@Galatians:3:21 @ Is the Law then against the promises of God? God forbid! If a law had been given which could impart life, righteousness would have been from the Law.
nsb@Galatians:3:22 @ But the Scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
nsb@Galatians:3:23 @ But before faith came the Law held us in custody. We were locked up until faith was revealed.
nsb@Galatians:3:24 @ The Law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
nsb@Galatians:3:25 @ Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
