Galatians 3:15-17

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

The Promise to Abraham

¹⁵ Brothers and sisters,^[a] I give an example from daily life: once a person’s will^[b] has been ratified, no one adds to it or annuls it. ¹⁶ Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring;^[c] it does not say, ‘And to offsprings’,^[d] as of many; but it says, ‘And to your offspring’,^[e] that is, to one person, who is Christ. ¹⁷ My point is this: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.
