NASB | Galatians 3:19 ¶ Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Galatians 3:19 ¶ Why, then, the Law [what was its purpose]? It was added [after the promise to Abraham, to reveal to people their guilt] because of transgressions [that is, to make people conscious of the sinfulness of sin], and [the Law] was ordained through angels and delivered to Israel by the hand of a mediator [Moses, the mediator between God and Israel, to be in effect] until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made. |
Bible Question: "the seed would come to whom the promise had been made." Does this say a promise was made to Jesus (the seed) and if so, what promise was made to Him? |
Bible Answer: The promise was to Eve (in the protevangelium of Genesis 3:15) and to Abraham (Galatians 3:18; Romans 4:21). Christ was the fulfillment of that promise. |
