Galatians 3:20-22
New American Standard Bible 1995
20 Now (A)a mediator is not [a]for one party only; whereas God is only one. 21 Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? (B)May it never be! For (C)if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness [b]would indeed have been [c]based on law. 22 But the Scripture has (D)shut up [d]everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

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.
