Galatians 3:17-19
International Standard Version
17 This is what I mean: The Law that came 430 years later did not cancel the covenant that God ratified previously. The promise was never nullified. 18 For if the inheritance comes about through the Law, it no longer comes about through the promise. But it was through a promise that God so graciously gave it to Abraham.
The Purpose of the Law
19 Why, then, was the Law added?[a] Because of transgressions, until the descendant[b] came to whom the promise pertained. It was put into effect through angels by means of a mediator.
