19 Why, then, the Law? It was added to make transgressions manifest,*+ until the seed should arrive+ to whom the promise had been made; and it was transmitted through angels+ by the hand of a mediator.+

24 Consequently the Law has become our tutor* leading to Christ,+ that we might be declared righteous+ due to faith.

17 for those things are a shadow+ of the things to come, but the reality*+ belongs to the Christ.+

20 saying: “This is the blood of the covenant that God has laid as a charge upon YOU.”*+

10 For since the Law has a shadow+ of the good things to come, but not the very substance of the things, [men] can never with the same sacrifices from year to year which they offer continually make those who approach perfect.+
