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.
NIV
This is my argument: The Law, which began 430 years after the covenant [concerning the coming Messiah], does not and cannot annul the covenant previously established (ratified) by God, so as to abolish the promise and make it void. [Exod. 12:40.]AMP
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.
KJV
Are you so foolish? After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to finish by human effort?
NIV
Are you so foolish and so senseless and so silly? Having begun [your new life spiritually] with the [Holy] Spirit, are you now reaching perfection [by dependence] on the flesh?
AMP
Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
KJV
As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let that person be under God's curse!
NIV
As we said before, so I now say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel different from or contrary to that which you received [from us], let him be accursed (anathema, devoted to destruction, doomed to eternal punishment)!
AMP
As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
KJV
Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
NIV
Is the Law then contrary and opposed to the promises of God? Of course not! For if a Law had been given which could confer [spiritual] life, then righteousness and right standing with God would certainly have come by Law.
AMP
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
