Galatians 3:20-22
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
20 Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of [only] one [party], but God is one[a].
The Law Served To Lead Us To Faith In Christ So As To Inherit The Abrahamic Promises
21 Is the Law then against the promises of God? May it never be! For if a Law being able to give-life had been given, righteousness really would have been by the Law! 22 But the Scripture confined all things under[b] sin, in order that the promise by faith[c] in Jesus Christ might be given to the ones believing.

Galatians 3:20-22
New International Version
20 A mediator,(A) however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
21 Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not!(B) For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.(C) 22 But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin,(D) so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
