Galatians 3:15-18 - The Promise To Abraham And His Descendant

¹⁵ To take an illustration, brothers, from daily life: even a human agreement, once ratified, no one annuls or alters. ¹⁶ Now the promises were made to Abraham and his line. It does not say, "and to your lines," in the plural, but in the singular, "and to your line," that is, Christ. ¹⁷ My point is this: An agreement already ratified by God cannot be annulled and its promise canceled by the Law, which arose four hundred and thirty years later. ¹⁸ 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.
