¹⁹ What purpose then does the law serve? ^(A)It was added because of transgressions, till the ^(B)Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ^(C)appointed through angels by the hand ^(D)of a mediator.

¹⁹ and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it ^(A)begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore.
