Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

ગુજરાતીગલાતીઓને પત્ર ૩:૧૯
તો નિયમશાસ્ત્ર શા માટે હતું? જેઓને ઇબ્રાહિમનું સંતાન આપવાનું વચન આપવામાં આવ્યું હતું તેઓની પાસે તે સંતાન આવે ત્યાં સુધી નિયમશાસ્ત્ર અપરાધોને લીધે આપવામાં આવેલું હતું; અને તે મધ્યસ્થની મારફતે, સ્વર્ગદૂતો દ્વારા ફરમાવેલું હતું.
हिन्दीगलातियों ३:१९
तब फिर व्यवस्था क्या रही? वह तो अपराधों के कारण बाद में दी गई, कि उस वंश के आने तक रहे, जिसको प्रतिज्ञा दी गई थी, और व्यवस्था स्वर्गदूतों के द्वारा एक मध्यस्थ के हाथ ठहराई गई।

In context

17Now I say this: A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

18For if the inheritance is of the law, it is no more of promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by promise.

19Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.

20Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.

21Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
