King James Version with Apocrypha
"For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise."
— Galatians 3:18, King James Version with Apocrypha
“For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.”
“For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise: but God hath granted it to Abraham by promise. ”
“For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.”
“For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.”
“For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise. But God gave it to Abraham by promise.”
“Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.”
Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.
Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
