BLB(i)
18 For if the inheritance is by the Law, it is no longer by a promise. But God has granted it to Abraham through a promise.
19 Why then the Law? It was added on account of transgressions, until the seed to whom promise has been made should have come, having been ordained through angels in the hand of a mediator.
20 However, a mediator is not of one; but God is one.
21 Is the Law therefore contrary to the promises of God? Never may it be! For if a law had been given being able to impart life, then righteousness indeed would have emerged from out of the Law.
22 But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, so that by faith from Jesus Christ, the promise might be given to those believing.
23 Now before faith came, we were held in custody under the Law, having been locked up until the faith being about to be revealed,
24 so that the Law has become our trainer unto Christ, so that we might be justified by faith.
