Galatians 3:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Now this I say, that the testament which was confirmed by God, the law which was made after four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul, to make the promise of no effect.

¹⁸ For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.

¹⁹ Why then was the law? It was set because of transgressions, until the seed should come, to whom he made the promise, being ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
