Sagradas Escrituras (1569) (Español) SEV
New International Version NIV
15 Hermanos, (hablo como hombre): Aunque un pacto sea de hombre, una vez ratificado, nadie lo cancela, ni le añade.
15
Brothers and sisters, let me take an example from everyday life. Just as no one can set aside or add to a human covenant that has been duly established, so it is in this case.
16 A Abraham fueron hechas las promesas, y a su simiente. No dice: Y a las simientes, como de muchos; sino como de uno: Y a tu simiente, la cual es el Cristo.
16
The promises were spoken to Abraham and to his seed. Scripture does not say “and to seeds,” meaning many people, but “and to your seed,” meaning one person, who is Christ.
17 Esto pues digo: Que el Pacto <I>previamente</I> ratificado de Dios para con el Cristo, la ley que fue hecha cuatrocientos treinta años después, no lo abroga, para invalidar la promesa.
17
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.
18 Porque si la herencia es por la ley, ya no <I>será</I> por la promesa; pero Dios por la promesa hizo la dió a Abraham.
18
For if the inheritance depends on the law, then it no longer depends on the promise; but God in his grace gave it to Abraham through a promise.
