1599 Geneva Bible: “Why was the Law given?"

Galatians 3:19 (i)Wherefore then serveth the Law? It was added because of the (ii)transgressions, (iii)till the seed came,unto the which the promise was made: (iv)and it was (v)ordained by (vi)Angels in the hand of a Mediator.

i. An objection which some might say from what was previously said (In the previous verses, Galatians 3:6-18 Paul said that the inheritance we get is a fulfillment of the promise God gave to Abraham): If the inheritance we get isn't earned by obeying the Law (and not even in part) then why was the Law given (to Moses), after the promise was given (to Abraham)?The Apostle answers: it is given to rebuke and convict men of sin, and so teaches them to look unto a Savior, Christ, in whom the promise of saving all people together should be fulfilled. So the the Law was never given to justify men.
ii. That men might understand, by the revealing of men's sins, that men are only saved by only the grace of God, which God revealed to Abraham, and that through Christ.
iii. Until the separation between God and man is broken down, and that full seed sprang up, which is made of two people (Gentiles and Jews): for by this word Seed, it means not only Christ by himself, but coupled and joined together with his people who are found in Him by faith.
iv. A confirmation of the previously stated answer using the example of the giving of the Law: for the Law was given by Angels, and when it was done it struck great terror into all, and Moses was a Mediator coming between God's people and God. Now they that are one (God and His people), they need no Mediator, except those who are separated from God, and that are at odds with one another. Therefore the Law itself and the Mediator, were witnesses of the wrath of God, and not that God would by the means of the Law to reconcile men to himself, and abolish the promise, or add the Law unto the promise.
v. Commanded and given, or proclaimed.
vi. By the service and ministry.

1599 Geneva Bible: “When Good Things happen to Bad people”

Psalm 73:1-4 Yet (i) God is good to Israel: even to the pure in heart. As for me, my feet were almost gone: my steps had well near slipped. For I fretted at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked. For there are (ii) no bands in their death, but they are lusty and strong. They are not in trouble as other men, neither are they plagued with other men. (iii) Therefore pride is as a chain unto them, and cruelty covereth them as a garment.

i. As it were between hope and despair, David bursts out into this affection, since he is assured that God would continue His favor toward such of us as were godly indeed, and not the hypocrites.

ii. The wicked in this life live at pleasure and are not dragged unto death like they were prisoners: that is, by sickness which is death’s messenger.

iii.They show off their pride as some do in their gold necklaces and fancy chains, and show off their cruelty, as some do in their fancy clothes.
