Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one. |
Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, but God is one. |
Now a mediator is not for (of) one party only; whereas God is only one. |
A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one. |
Now a go-between (intermediary) has to do with and implies more than one party [there can be no mediator with just one person]. Yet God is [only] one Person [and He was the sole party in giving that promise to Abraham. But the Law was a contract between two, God and Israel; its validity was dependent on both]. |
Now, the mediator is not a go-between representing the interests of one individual, but God is one individual. |
The very fact that there was an intermediary is enough to show that this was not the fulfilling of the promise. |
Though an intermediary implies more than one party, yet God is only one. |
