Galatians 3:19 - Forerunner Commentary

Galatians 3:19

17 And this I say, that the law, ^awhich was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God¹ in Christ, ^bthat it should make the promise of no effect.

18 For if ^athe inheritance is of the law, ^bit is no longer of promise; but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

Purpose of the Law

19 What purpose then does the law serve? ^aIt was added because of transgressions, till the ^bSeed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ^cappointed through angels by the hand ^dof a mediator.

20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, ^abut God is one.

21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.
