Is 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.

ગુજરાતીગલાતીઓને પત્ર ૩:૨૧
ત્યારે શું નિયમશાસ્ત્ર ઈશ્વરનાં આશાવચનોથી વિરુદ્ધ છે? કદી નહિ, કેમ કે જીવન આપી શકે એવો કોઈ નિયમ જો આપવામાં આવ્યો હોત, તો નિશ્ચે નિયમશાસ્ત્રથી ન્યાયીપણું મળત.
हिन्दीगलातियों ३:२१
तो क्या व्यवस्था परमेश्वर की प्रतिज्ञाओं के विरोध में है? कदापि नहीं! क्योंकि यदि ऐसी व्यवस्था दी जाती जो जीवन दे सकती, तो सचमुच धार्मिकता व्यवस्था से होती।

In context

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.

22But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.

23But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
