Galatians 3:16-21 Now, to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He does not say, "And in seeds," as concerning many; but as concerning one person, "And in your see," who is Christ.

Living_Oracles⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Now, to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed. He does not say, "And in seeds," as concerning many; but as concerning one person, "And in your see," who is Christ. ¹⁷ Wherefore, this I affirm, that the Will which was before ratified by God concerning Christ, the law, which was made four hundred and thirty years after can not annul, so as to abolish the promise. ¹⁸ Besides, if the inheritance be by law, it is no longer by promise. But God bestowed it freely on Abraham by promise. ¹⁹ Why, then, the law? It was added on account of transgression, till the seed should come to whom it was promised; being ordained by messengers, in the hand of a Mediator; ²⁰ and the Mediator is not one party; but God is one party. ²¹ Is the law, then, contrary to the promise of God? By no means. For if there had been a law given, which was able to make alive, certainly righteousness would have been by law.
