Galatians 3:17-24 I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the promise.

Riverside⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ I mean this, a covenant ratified by God, the Law that came four hundred and thirty years afterward does not annul, so as to defeat the promise. ¹⁸ For if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise. But God granted it to Abraham by promise. ¹⁹ Why then was the Law? It was added later to make transgressions, until the Offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was arranged through angels by the hand of a mediator. ²⁰ A mediator does not belong to one person, but God is one. ²¹ Is the Law then against the promises of God? Never! For if a law had been given which could give life, then really righteousness would have come by law. ²² But the Scripture has shut up all under sin that the promise based on faith in Jesus Christ may be given to those who have faith. ²³ Before faith came we were guarded under law, shut up waiting for the faith that was to be revealed. ²⁴ Thus the Law became our tutor leading us to Christ, that we might be declared righteous by faith.
