- Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.
- And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise 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.
- Wherefore then serveth 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.
- Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.

- 所應許的原是向亞伯拉罕和他子孫說的. 神並不是說眾子孫、指著許多人、乃是說你那一個子孫、指著一個人、就是基督。
- 我是這麼說、 神豫先所立的約、不能被那四百三十年以後的律法廢掉、叫應許歸於虛空。
- 因為承受產業、若本乎律法、就不本乎應許.但 神是憑著應許、把產業賜給亞伯拉罕。
- 這樣說來、律法是為甚麼有的呢.原是為過犯添上的、等候那蒙應許的子孫來到.並且是藉天使經中保之手設立的。
- 但中保本不是為一面作的. 神卻是一位。
