12and the law is not by faith, but -- `The man who did them shall live in them.`
13Christ did redeem us from the curse of the law, having become for us a curse, for it hath been written, `Cursed is every one who is hanging on a tree,`
14that to the nations the blessing of Abraham may come in Christ Jesus, that the promise of the Spirit we may receive through the faith.
15Brethren, as a man I say [it], even of man a confirmed covenant no one doth make void or doth add to,
16and to Abraham were the promises spoken, and to his seed; He doth not say, `And to seeds,` as of many, but as of one, `And to thy seed,` which is Christ;
17and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,
18for if by law [be] the inheritance, [it is] no more by promise, but to Abraham through promise did God grant [it].
