Galatians
3
15
Brothers and sisters, I offer an example from everyday life: When a covenant has been ratified, even though it is only a human contract, no one can set it aside or add anything to it.
16
Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his descendant. Scripture does not say, "and to the descendants," referring to many, but "and to your descendant," referring to one, who is Christ.
17
What I am saying is this: The law that came four hundred thirty years later does not cancel a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to invalidate the promise.
18
For if the inheritance is based on the law, it is no longer based on the promise, but God graciously gave it to Abraham through the promise.
19
Why then was the law given? It was added because of transgressions, until the arrival of the descendant to whom the promise had been made. It was administered through angels by an intermediary.
20
Now an intermediary is not for one party alone, but God is one.
21
Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
22
But the scripture imprisoned everything and everyone under sin so that the promise could be given - because of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ - to those who believe.
23
Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.
24
Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.
25
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26
For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.
27
For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female - for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
29
And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to the promise.

1
Now I mean that the heir, as long as he is a minor, is no different from a slave, though he is the owner of everything.
2
But he is under guardians and managers until the date set by his father.
3
So also we, when we were minors, were enslaved under the basic forces of the world.
4
But when the appropriate time had come, God sent out his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5
to redeem those who were under the law, so that we may be adopted as sons with full rights.
6
And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who calls "Abba! Father!"
7
So you are no longer a slave but a son, and if you are a son, then you are also an heir through God.
