Galatians 3:18-20
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
18 For if the inheritance is of [a] the Law, it is no longer of the promise. But God has freely-given it to Abraham through the promise!
The Law Was Added Because of Transgressions, Until The Christ Should Come
19 Why then the Law? It was added because of the transgressions until which time the Seed should come to Whom the promise has been made, having been commanded[b] through angels by the hand of a mediator[c]. 20 Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of [only] one [party], but God is one[d].

Galatians 3:18-20
New International Version
18 For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise;(A) 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(B) until the Seed(C) to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels(D) and entrusted to a mediator.(E) 20 A mediator,(F) however, implies more than one party; but God is one.
