Galatians 3:18-20

Expanded Bible

¹⁸ If the law could give us ·Abraham’s blessing [^Lthe inheritance], then ·the promise would not be necessary [or it is not based on a promise]. But that is not possible, because God freely gave ·his blessings [^Lit] to Abraham through the promise he had made.

¹⁹ So what was the law for? It was ·given to show that the wrong things people do are against God’s will [^Ladded because of transgressions]. And it continued until the ·special descendant [seed], who had been promised, came. The law was given through angels [Acts 7:53; Heb. 2:2] ·who used Moses for a mediator to give the law to people [^Lby the hand of a mediator/intermediary]. ²⁰ But a mediator is not needed when there is only one side, and God is only one.
