Galatians 3:17-24 And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁷ And I say this, a covenant previously confirmed by God in Christ, the law, which happened four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul in order to make the promise useless. ¹⁸ For if the inheritance is from law, it is no longer from promise. But God has given it to Abraham through promise. ¹⁹ Why then the law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the seed would come to whom it was promised, which was arranged through agents in the hand of a mediator. ²⁰ Now a mediator is not of one, but God is one. ²¹ Is the law therefore against the promises of God? May it not happen! For if a law was given that could make alive, truly righteousness would be from law. ²² But scripture confined all things under sin, so that the promise from faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. ²³ But before faith came we were kept in custody under law, having been confined for faith that was going to be revealed. ²⁴ So that the law became our schoolmaster for Christ, so that we might be made righteous from faith.
