Galatians 3:16 in Context — Galatians 3
14 afin que la bénédiction d’Abraham eût pour les païens son accomplissement en Jésus-Christ, et que nous reçussions par la foi l’Esprit qui avait été promis.
15 Frères (je parle à la manière des hommes), une disposition en bonne forme, bien que faite par un homme, n’est annulée par personne, et personne n’y ajoute.
16 Or les promesses ont été faites à Abraham et à sa postérité. Il n’est pas dit: et aux postérités, comme s’il s’agissait de plusieurs, mais en tant qu’il s’agit d’une seule: et à ta postérité, c’est-à-dire, à Christ.
17 Voici ce que j’entends: une disposition, que Dieu a confirmée antérieurement, ne peut pas être annulée, et ainsi la promesse rendue vaine, par la loi survenue quatre cent trente ans plus tard.
18 Car si l’héritage venait de la loi, il ne viendrait plus de la promesse; or, c’est par la promesse que Dieu a fait à Abraham ce don de sa grâce.
