Galatians 3:19-21

Modern English Version

¹⁹ What purpose then does the law serve? It was added because of transgressions, until the Seed should come to whom the promise was made. And it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator. ²⁰ Now a mediator is not a mediator for only one party, but God is one.

Slaves and Sons

²¹ Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? God forbid! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, righteousness would indeed come through the law.
