THe central theme of the passage is that he promise prevails and it is not nullified or changed by the law. Paul here starts the argument by giving an every day example how of a covenant that has been ratified cannot undergo a change. In the same way the covenant God made with Abraham cannot be nullified or its terms changed by the law hat was given 430 years later. The promise prevails and thus the blessings of that promise to all who like abraham have faith. But how is this realised and what then was the purpose of the law. Paul explains that the promise was given to abraham and his seed/offspring and that offspring is christ. and it is through faith in christ that the gentiles receive the blessing. The law was given to point to christ and to be as a guardian till christ came. It was given through the angels via MOses. Paul also clarifies that the law is not opposed to the promise as they were never the two ways to meet the same end the purpose of the two were totally different one was to show that sin is more sinful i.e the law and the other was for the salation through faith i.e the promise. So it is the promise that justifies and the law that condemns. The law comdemns both the jew and the gentile(concience refer Romans) and so both are under the curse but christ became the curse and brought the promise to all who have faith. The inference is tht there is no jew or gentile........ all are one in christ and not under the law but under the promise.

Galatians

Galatians 3:15-22

NT

nasb

esv

Brethren, I speak in terms of human relations:

To give a human example, brothers:

even though it is only a man's covenant, yet when it has been ratified, no one sets it aside or adds conditions to it.

even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified.

ideaexplanation

Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed.

Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring.

He does not say, "And to seeds," as referring to many,

It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many,

but rather to one, "And to your seed," that is, Christ.

but referring to one, "And to your offspring," who is Christ.

negativepositive

What I am saying is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later,

This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward,

does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God,

does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God,

so as to nullify the promise.

so as to make the promise void.

For if the inheritance is based on law,

For if the inheritance comes by the law,

it is no longer based on a promise;

it no longer comes by promise;

but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

but God gave it to Abraham by a promise.

Why the Law then?

Why then the law?

It was added because of transgressions,

It was added because of transgressions,

..... until the seed would come

until the offspring should come

to whom the promise had been made.......

to whom the promise had been made,

it was ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator........

and it was put in place through angels by an intermediary.

series

questionanswer

Now a mediator is not for one party only;

Now an intermediary implies more than one,

whereas God is only one.

but God is one.

alternative

Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God?

Is the law then contrary to the promises of God?

May it never be!

Certainly not!

For if a law had been given which was able to impart life,

For if a law had been given that could give life,

then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.

then righteousness would indeed be by the law.

conditional

ground

But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin,

But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin,

so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
