Galatians 3:16-18

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁶ To Abraham were the promises made and to his seed. He saith not, And to his seeds, as of many: but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.

¹⁷ Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁸ For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.
