Galatians 3:14-16
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
14 in order that the blessing of [a] Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, in order that we might receive the promise of [b] the Spirit through faith.
God’s Promises To Abraham Were Not Cancelled By The Law Which Came Later
15 Brothers, I speak in accordance with human thinking: Though it is [a covenant] of a human, no one sets-aside or adds-conditions-to a covenant having been ratified. 16 Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed[c]. He[d] does not say [in Gen 13:15] “and to seeds”, as-though speaking in reference to many; but as-though speaking in reference to one, “and to your seed”— who is Christ.
