Galatians 3:7-20

Galatians 3:7-20

[7] Know ye  therefore  that  they which are of  faith,  the same  the children  of Abraham.  [8] And  the scripture,  that  God  would justify  the heathen  through  faith,  preached before the gospel  unto Abraham,  saying,  In  all  nations  be blessed.  [9] So then  they which be of  faith  are blessed  with  faithful  Abraham.  [10] For  as many as  of  the works  of the law  under  the curse:  for  it is written,  Cursed  is every one  that  continueth  not  in  all things  which  are written  in  the book  of the law  to do  them.  [11] But  that  no man  is justified  by  the law  in the sight  of God,  it is evident:  for,  The just  shall live  by  faith.  [12] And  the law  not  of  faith:  but,  that doeth  them  shall live  in  them.  [13] Christ  hath redeemed  from  the curse  of the law,  being made  a curse  for  it is written,  Cursed  is every one  that hangeth  on  a tree:  [14] That  the blessing  of Abraham  might come  on  the Gentiles  through  Jesus  Christ;  that  we might receive  the promise  of the Spirit  through  faith.  [15] Brethren,  I speak  after the manner of  men;  Though it be but  a man's  covenant,  yet if it be confirmed,  no man  disannulleth,  or  addeth thereto.  [16] Now  to Abraham  and  his  seed  the promises  He saith  not,  And  to seeds,  as  of  many;  but  as  of  one,  And  seed,  which  Christ.  [17] And  I say,  that the covenant,  that was confirmed before  of  God  in  the law,  which was  four hundred  and  thirty  years  after,  cannot  disannul,  that  the promise  of none effect.  [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.  [20] Now  a mediator  not  a mediator of one,  but  God  one.
