Understand how this verse speaks to what you're facing and how to apply it today

Translation: World English Bible — Catholic Edition

" For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise. "

Galatians 3:18

menu_book Verse in Context

16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.

17 Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

18 For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

19 Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

20 Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
