17 And I say this, A covenant having been ratified by God in Christ, the Law (coming into being four hundred and thirty years after) does not annul the promise, so as to abolish it.

18 For if the inheritance [is] of Law, [it is] no more of promise; but God gave [it] to Abraham by way of promise.

19 Why then the Law? It was added because of transgressions, until the Seed should come [to those] to whom it had been promised, being ordained through angels in the Mediator's hand.
