Galatians 3:15

Inheritance Comes from Promises and not Law

3:15 Brothers and sisters, ⁵  I offer an example from everyday life: ⁶  When a covenant ⁷  has been ratified, ⁸  even though it is only a human contract, no one can set it aside or add anything to it.

[3:5]  ¹ tn Or “shows clearly.”

[3:5]  ² tn Grk “That God is not unjust to inflict wrath, is he?”

[3:5]  ³ sn The same expression occurs in Gal 3:15, and similar phrases in Rom 6:19 and 1 Cor 9:8.

[1:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “Paul.” The word “from” is not in the Greek text, but has been supplied to indicate the sender of the letter.

[3:15]  ⁵ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:11.

[3:15]  ⁶ tn Grk “I speak according to man,” referring to the illustration that follows.

[3:15]  ⁷ tn The same Greek word, διαθήκη (diaqhkh), can mean either “covenant” or “will,” but in this context the former is preferred here because Paul is discussing in vv. 16-18 the Abrahamic covenant.

[3:15]  ⁸ tn Or “has been put into effect.”
