Galatians 3:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Promise to Abraham

¹⁵ Brothers and sisters,^[a] I give an example from daily life: once a person’s will^[b] has been ratified, no one adds to it or annuls it. ¹⁶ Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring;^[c] it does not say, “And to offsprings,”^[d] as of many; but it says, “And to your offspring,”^[e] that is, to one person, who is Christ. ¹⁷ My point is this: the law, which came four hundred thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.
