Brethren, I
speak in
terms of
human relations:
even though it is only a
man's covenant,
yet when it has been
ratified,
no one sets it
aside or adds conditions to it.

Now the
promises were
spoken to
Abraham and to his
seed. He does not
say, "And to
seeds," as referring to
many, but rather to
one, "And to your
seed," that is,
Christ.

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.

For
if the
inheritance is
based on
law, it is
no longer based on a
promise; but
God has
granted it to
Abraham by
means of a
promise.
