Galatians 3:17-19

Contemporary English Version

^17 (A) What I am saying is that the Law cannot change or cancel God's promise made 430 years before the Law was given. ^18 (B) If we have to obey the Law in order to receive God's blessings, those blessings don't really come to us because of God's promise. But God was kind to Abraham and made him a promise.

¹⁹ What is the use of the Law? It was given later to show that we sin. But it was only supposed to last until the coming of that descendant^[a] who was given the promise. In fact, angels gave the Law to Moses, and he gave it to the people.
