Galatians 3:15¹⁵Brothers and sisters, I offer an example from everyday life: When a covenant has been ratified, even though it is only a human contract, no one can set it aside or add anything to it.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:16¹⁶Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say, “and to the descendants,” referring to many, but “and to your descendant,” referring to one, who is Christ.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:17¹⁷What I am saying is this: The law that came 430 years later does not cancel a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to invalidate the promise.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:18¹⁸For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:19¹⁹Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the descendant to whom the promise had been made. It was administered through angels by an intermediary.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:20²⁰Now an intermediary is not for one party alone, but God is one.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:21²¹Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:22²²But the scripture imprisoned everything under sin so that the promise could be given—because of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ—to those who believe.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:23²³Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions

Galatians 3:24²⁴Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.Copy LinkCopy VerseKJV+Strong’sMany Bible Versions
