New International Version
Galatians 3:14-16
New International Version
14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,(A) so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.(B)
The Law and the Promise
15 Brothers and sisters,(C) let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case. 16 The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed.(D) Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,”[a](E) meaning one person, who is Christ.
