Galatians 3:18-20
Legacy Standard Bible
18 For (A)if the inheritance is by law, it is no longer by promise, but (B)God has granted it to Abraham through promise.
19 (C)Why the Law then? It was added [a]because of trespasses, having been (D)ordained through angels (E)by the hand of a mediator, until (F)the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. 20 Now (G)a mediator is not [b]for one person only, whereas God is one.

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.
