Galatians 3:20-22
New Century Version
20 But a mediator is not needed when there is only one side, and God is only one.
The Purpose of the Law of Moses
21 Does this mean that the law is against God’s promises? Never! That would be true only if the law could make us right with God. But God did not give a law that can bring life. 22 Instead, the Scriptures showed that the whole world is bound by sin. This was so the promise would be given through faith to people who believe in Jesus Christ.

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.
