16 Now, unto Abraham, were spoken the promises––and unto his seed; ––He saith not––and unto thy seeds, as of many, but, as of one––and unto thy seed, which is Christ:
17 And, this, I say––a covenant previously confirmed by God, the law which, after four hundred and thirty years, hath been brought into being, doth not annul, so as to do away with the promise.
18 For, if, by law, is the inheritance, it is, no longer, by promise; but, unto Abraham, through promise, hath God favoured it.

Because of the transgressions, it was added, until such time as the seed should come, unto whom the promise had been made, and was given in charge through messengers, at the hand of a mediator; 20 Now, a mediator, is not [a mediator] of one, but, God, is, one. 21 Is, the law, then, against the promises [of God]? Far be it! For, if a law had been given, which had been able to give life, verily, in law, would have been our righteousness;
