Galatians 3:18-19
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
18
For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.
19
Why the Law then? It was added on account of the violations, having been ordered through angels at the hand of a mediator, until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made.
King James Version
Chapter 3
18
For if the inheritance
be
of the law,
it is
no more of promise: but God gave
it
to Abraham by promise.
19
Wherefore then
serveth
the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;
and it was
ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
18
For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise; but God has graciously given it to Abraham through the promise.
19
Why, then, was the law given? It was added for the sake of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise was made would come. The law was put into effect through angels by means of a mediator.
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
18
For if the inheritance could be received by keeping the law, then it would not be the result of accepting God’s promise. But God graciously gave it to Abraham as a promise.
19
Why, then, was the law given? It was given alongside the promise to show people their sins. But the law was designed to last only until the coming of the child who was promised. God gave his law through angels to Moses, who was the mediator between God and the people.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
18
For if the inheritance comes by the law, it no longer comes by promise; but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.
19
Why then the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise had been made, and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.
New International Version
Chapter 3
18
For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
19
Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.
New King James Version
Chapter 3
18
For if the inheritance
is
of the law,
it is
no longer of promise; but God gave
it
to Abraham by promise.
19
What purpose then
does
the law
serve?
It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made;
and it was
appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.
