Did you not read verse 17:
And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.
The references to the law here are to the law that came 430 after the covenant with Abraham, i.e. the Law of Moses, not the eternal moral law that precedes it and is binding on everyone, not just those under the Mosaic covenant. Again:
For you were called for freedom, brothers. But do not use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh; rather, serve one another through love. For the whole lawk is fulfilled in one statement, namely, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you go on biting and devouring one another, beware that you are not consumed by one another. I say, then: live by the Spirit and you will certainly not gratify the desire of the flesh. For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you may not do what you want. But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are obvious: immorality, impurity, licentiousness, idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, rivalry, jealousy, outbursts of fury, acts of selfishness, dissensions, factions, occasions of envy, drinking bouts, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. (Gal.5:16-21)
Paul is writing to believing Christians. How much clearer does Scripture have to be show that we can loose our salvation through sin?

Did you not read verse ...

Are you off subject?

 
Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
