Galatians 3:19 in Context — Galatians 3
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.
19 Pourquoi donc la loi? Elle a été donnée ensuite à cause des transgressions, jusqu’à ce que vînt la postérité à qui la promesse avait été faite; elle a été promulguée par des anges, au moyen d’un médiateur.
20 Or, le médiateur n’est pas médiateur d’un seul, tandis que Dieu est un seul.
21 La loi est-elle donc contre les promesses de Dieu? Loin de là! S’il eût été donné une loi qui pût procurer la vie, la justice viendrait réellement de la loi.
