14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through authority and powerbaptizedbond nor freechildrenchildren of wickednessChristcompassionconceivecovenantcurseddominionestablishedEuphratesfaithgathergenerationgreat nameheirshousehouse of Davidhouse of JacobimageinheritanceiniquityJesus ChristjudgeskingdomlawlikenessmediatormercyMosesNathanpromisesredeemedreplenishrulerschoolmasterseed of DavidsinSon of the Highesttransgressions; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man’s authority and powerbaptizedbond nor freechildrenchildren of wickednessChristcompassionconceivecovenantcurseddominionestablishedEuphratesfaithgathergenerationgreat nameheirshousehouse of Davidhouse of JacobimageinheritanceiniquityJesus ChristjudgeskingdomlawlikenessmediatormercyMosesNathanpromisesredeemedreplenishrulerschoolmasterseed of DavidsinSon of the Highesttransgressions, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.

16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is authority and powerbaptizedbond nor freechildrenchildren of wickednessChristcompassionconceivecovenantcurseddominionestablishedEuphratesfaithgathergenerationgreat nameheirshousehouse of Davidhouse of JacobimageinheritanceiniquityJesus ChristjudgeskingdomlawlikenessmediatormercyMosesNathanpromisesredeemedreplenishrulerschoolmasterseed of DavidsinSon of the Highesttransgressions.

17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the authority and powerbaptizedbond nor freechildrenchildren of wickednessChristcompassionconceivecovenantcurseddominionestablishedEuphratesfaithgathergenerationgreat nameheirshousehouse of Davidhouse of JacobimageinheritanceiniquityJesus ChristjudgeskingdomlawlikenessmediatormercyMosesNathanpromisesredeemedreplenishrulerschoolmasterseed of DavidsinSon of the Highesttransgressions, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

18 For if the authority and powerbaptizedbond nor freechildrenchildren of wickednessChristcompassionconceivecovenantcurseddominionestablishedEuphratesfaithgathergenerationgreat nameheirshousehouse of Davidhouse of JacobimageinheritanceiniquityJesus ChristjudgeskingdomlawlikenessmediatormercyMosesNathanpromisesredeemedreplenishrulerschoolmasterseed of DavidsinSon of the Highesttransgressions be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.

19 Wherefore then serveth the law?

God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.

22 But the scripture hath concluded all under authority and powerbaptizedbond nor freechildrenchildren of wickednessChristcompassionconceivecovenantcurseddominionestablishedEuphratesfaithgathergenerationgreat nameheirshousehouse of Davidhouse of JacobimageinheritanceiniquityJesus ChristjudgeskingdomlawlikenessmediatormercyMosesNathanpromisesredeemedreplenishrulerschoolmasterseed of DavidsinSon of the Highesttransgressions, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
