This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint.

3:15 The law didn’t annul the promise
15 Brothers and sisters, consider our human ways: once an agreement has been accepted, one party can’t just reject it or add conditions. 16 The promises were given to Avraham and to his offspring. It doesn’t say ‘offsprings (plural)’ but is only referring to the one who’s the messiah. 17 So what I’m telling you is that the agreement with Avraham that was previously ratified by God was not annulled 430 years later[ref] when the law was given to Mosheh (Moses), and nor was the promise nullified, 18 because if the inheritance now came by obeying the law, then it could no longer be the result of the promise, but God had already granted it to Avraham via the promise.[ref] 19 So what was the law for then? Because of sinfulness, it was added until the promised descendant would come. It was directed through messengers and entrusted to Mosheh as a mediator. 20 You don’t need a mediator if there’s only one party involved, and God is one.
