Galatians 3:17-24

Worrell(i) 17 But this I say: A covenant previously confirmed by God, the law, which came into existence four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate, that it should make the promise of no effect. 18 For, if the inheritance is of the law, it is no longer of promise; but God has freely given it to Abraham through promise. 19 What, then, is the law? It was added because of the transgressions, until the Seed should come to Whom it had been promised; having been arranged through angels in the hand of a mediator. 20 Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one. 21 Is the law, then, against the promises of God? It could not be! For, if a law had been given, which was able to make alive, truly righteousness would have been by law; 22 but the Scripture shuts up all things under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But, before the faith came, we were kept guarded under law, being shut up to the faith about to be revealed. 24 So that the law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
