NETBible | What I am saying is this: The law that came four hundred thirty years later does not cancel a covenant previously ratified by God, 1 so as to invalidate the promise. |
NIV © |
What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise. |
NASB © |
What I am saying is this: the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise. |
NLT © |

BBE © |
Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect. |
NRSV © |
