Galatians 3:19-21 Why, then, the Law = Torah of The Transgressions? It was at one point set aiming at, and thus provided a view to, grace and favor D, F, G & others read: It was appointed for (or: set {beside}) grace (or: Why, then, the Law? It was placed close and applied {imposed; added} on behalf of the walks to the side of the path; or: What, therefore is the Law = Torah? Something set, as a favor, face-to-face with the over-steppings and transgressions to the side of and beyond the Way) – being precisely arranged and thoroughly prescribed and mandated by injunction through means of agents (or: messengers; folks with the message) within the midst of the hand of a mediator (or: in an umpire's hand; within the hand of an arbitrator or an intermediary in a middle position) – as far as to where (or: until which place or time) the Seed would (or: should) come, to Whom and for Whom the promise had been made (or: in Whom He had been promised).

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁹ Why, then, the Law [= Torah] of The Transgressions? It was at one point set aiming at, and thus provided a view to, grace and favor [D, F, G & others read: It was appointed for (or: set {beside}) grace] (or: Why, then, the Law? It was placed close and applied {imposed; added} on behalf of the walks to the side of [the path]; or: What, therefore [is] the Law [= Torah]? Something set, as a favor, face-to-face with the over-steppings and transgressions to the side of and beyond [the Way]) – being precisely arranged and thoroughly prescribed and mandated by injunction through means of agents (or: messengers; folks with the message) within the midst of [the] hand of a mediator (or: in an umpire's hand; within [the] hand of an arbitrator or an intermediary in a middle position) – as far as to where (or: until which place or time) the Seed would (or: should) come, to Whom and for Whom the promise had been made (or: in Whom He had been promised). ²⁰ Now there is no mediator of one (= when one person is concerned or is acting alone). Yet (or: Now) God is One. [note: to make a promise, one is sufficient – there is no need for a middleman] ²¹ Is the Law, then, following the pattern of (or: down from; or: down against; or: on a par with; commensurate with; corresponding to) God's promises? May it not happen (It could not come to be; = Of course not)! For if a law (or: [the] Law) were given which continued having power or being able at any point to make alive (to construct or create living folks; to engender living ones; to impart life), really, the fairness and equity in right relationship (the rightwised qualities of justice and freedom from guilt within the Way pointed out; also = covenant inclusion) were likely being from out of the midst of [the] Law [= Torah; other MSS: residing within law].
