For if

That is why it all turns upon faith; it is to make it a matter of God's favor, so that the promise may hold good for all Abraham's descendants, not only those who are adherents of the Law, but also those who share the faith of Abraham. For he is the father of all of us;

I refuse to nullify the mercy of God. For if uprightness could be secured through law, then Christ died for nothing!

If our inheritance rests on the Law, it has nothing to do with the promise. Yet it was as a promise that God bestowed it upon Abraham.

You people who propose to be made upright by law have finished with Christ; you have lost your hold upon God's favor.

and be known to be united to him, with any uprightness I may have not based on law but coming through faith in Christ??he uprightness that comes from God through faith.

(for there was nothing final about the Law), and a better hope begins to dawn, through which we may approach God.

Made

Is this using faith to overthrow law? Far from it. This confirms the Law.
