Seed of Abraham
          1 To Abraham and his seed were made the

          promises. He did not say, to seeds, as of many;
          but  as  of  one;  to  your  seed,  which  is
          Christ. And I tell you, the covenant, that was

          confirmed before of God in Christ, the law,
          which was four hundred and thirty years

          after,  cannot  cancel  the  promise,

          that would make it 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.


          2  What  then  serves  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.  There  is  one  God,  and  one
          mediator  between  God  and  men,  the

          man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a

          ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
