What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
Why, then, was the law given at all? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was given through angels and entrusted to a mediator.
Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed. So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith. Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
The Law was like a childminder until the promise made to Abraham was fulfilled in the coming of Christ. Now, by faith in him, we are all God's children - regardless of race or status or sex.
Why?
The law is late 430 years, so the law is not under the promise through faith.
Why was the law given? It was added because of transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. This seed is not seed, who is Jesus Christ.
If we belong to Christ, then we are Abraham's hair according to the promise.

1.得產業因為神的應許：應許在先律法在後。後來的律法也不能廢去應許。
2.律法的功用： 叫人知道人是罪人。律法將人都關在監牢裏。人不可能遵行律法。律法好像我們的師傅，指引我們走正確的路，到耶穌面前
3.我們都是因為信承受產業。不分是什麼人在耶穌基督裏得恩典。所以沒有人可以誇口。看到別人比自己強，很會禱告，這些都不要自卑，這些都因為信。神看我們都一樣。因為我們都是披戴基督。我們在耶穌基督裏互為肢體，都是一。

How?
The promise through the faith is higher than the Law, through Jesus Christ our sins may erase.
