19Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.Select Galatians 3:19
20Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.Select Galatians 3:20
21Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.Select Galatians 3:21
22But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.Select Galatians 3:22
23But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.Select Galatians 3:23
