Galatians 3:18-20

New International Reader's Version

¹⁸ The great gift that God has for us does not depend on the law. If it did, it would no longer depend on the promise. But God gave it to Abraham as a free gift through a promise.

¹⁹ Then why was the law given at all? It was added because of human sin. And it was supposed to control us until the promised Seed had come. The law was given through angels, and a go-between was put in charge of it. ²⁰ A go-between means that there is more than one side to an agreement. But God didn’t use a go-between when he made his promise to Abraham.
