Galatians explains a disciplinary role for the law in relation to transgression; 1 Timothy similarly locates the law’s proper use against lawless conduct.

The Greek tradition of Deuteronomy 33:2 contributes to ancient traditions of angelic mediation at Sinai and may illuminate Paul’s statement that the law was ordained through angels, but the textual route is debated.

Stephen says Israel received the law by the disposition of angels, closely paralleling Paul’s statement that the law was ordained by angels.

Hebrews also speaks of the word spoken by angels as legally binding, corroborating the early Christian tradition of angelic mediation at Sinai. Verbal evidence: compare the wording of Galatians 3:19–25 with Hebrews 2:1–4. The distinctive verbal overlap supports the connection more strongly than a broad thematic similarity, without automatically proving every proposed implication.
