It was added <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>because of trespasses, having been ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/3-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>Now a mediator is not <span class="fn"><a href="#fn">[†]</a></span>for one <i>person only</i>, whereas God is one. <span class="reftext"><a href="/galatians/3-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God?
