OET (OET-RV) So what I’m telling you is that the agreement with Abraham that was previously ratified by God, was not annulled 430 years later when the law was given to Mosheh and nor was the promised nullified.
OET-LV And I_am_saying this:
the_covenant having_been_previously_ratified by the god, the after four_hundred and thirty years having_become law is_ not _annulling, as_in_order that to_nullify the promise.
SR-GNT Τοῦτο δὲ λέγω: διαθήκην προκεκυρωμένην ὑπὸ τοῦ ˚Θεοῦ, ὁ μετὰ τετρακόσια καὶ τριάκοντα ἔτη γεγονὼς νόμος οὐκ ἀκυροῖ, εἰς τὸ καταργῆσαι τὴν ἐπαγγελίαν. ‡
(Touto de legō: diathaʸkaʸn prokekurōmenaʸn hupo tou ˚Theou, ho meta tetrakosia kai triakonta etaʸ gegonōs nomos ouk akuroi, eis to katargaʸsai taʸn epangelian.)

3:17 to Christ ¦ — CT

(And this I say, that the Covenant that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the Lawe which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disanul, that it should make the promise of none effect.)
Bshps This I say, that the lawe which began afterwarde, beyonde foure hundred and thirtie yeres, doth not disanull the testament that was confirmed afore of God, vnto Christe warde, to make the promise of none effect.
(This I say, that the law which began afterward, beyond four hundred and thirty years, doth not disanull the testament that was confirmed afore of God, unto Christ warde, to make the promise of none effect.)
Gnva And this I say, that the couenant that was confirmed afore of God in respect of Christ, the Lawe which was foure hundreth and thirtie yeeres after, can not disanull, that it shoulde make the promise of none effect.
(And this I say, that the covenant that was confirmed afore of God in respect of Christ, the Lawe which was four hundreth and thirty years after, cannot disanull, that it should make the promise of none effect. )

Luth Ich sage aber davon: Das Testament, das von GOtt zuvor bestätiget ist auf Christum, wird nicht aufgehoben, daß die Verheißung sollte durchs Gesetz aufhören, welches gegeben ist über vierhundertunddreißig Jahre hernach.
(I said but davon: The Testament, the from God zuvor bestätiget is on Christum, becomes not aufgehoben, that the Verheißung sollte durchs law aufhören, which given is above vierhundertundthirty years hernach.)
ClVg Hoc autem dico, testamentum confirmatum a Deo: quæ post quadringentos et triginta annos facta est lex, non irritum facit ad evacuandam promissionem.[fn]
(This however dico, testamentum confirmatum from Deo: which after quadringentos and triginta years facts it_is lex, not/no irritum facit to evacuandam promissionem. )
3.17 Hoc autem dico. Hoc promisit Deus Abrahæ, hoc autem testamentum confirmatum per juramenta dico et affirmo, quod lex non facit irritum, de qua non esset hoc putandum: quia data est tantum ad tempus: quia post multum tempus a promissione facta Abrahæ, lex data est: de qua si esset benedictio, homines illius temporis Abraham, Isaac et Jacob non eam habuissent. Lex non facit irritum. Id est, falsum: quod faceret, si per eam daretur benedictio. Promissio enim illa non dixit, quod per legem, sed per semen. Quod si per legem benedictio, ergo frustra semini promisit, et frustra semen ipsum venit. Lex non facit irritum quasi jam valeret ad evacuandam promissionem: quia esset falsa, et Deus mendax.
3.17 This however dico. This promisit God Abrahæ, hoc however testamentum confirmatum through yuramenta dico and affirmo, that lex not/no facit irritum, about which not/no was this putandum: because data it_is only to tempus: because after multum tempus from promissione facts Abrahæ, lex data it_is: about which when/but_if was benedictio, homines illius temporis Abraham, Isaac and Yacob not/no her habuissent. Lex not/no facit irritum. That it_is, falsum: that faceret, when/but_if through her would_be_given benedictio. Promissio because that not/no dixit, that through legem, but through semen. That when/but_if through legem benedictio, therefore frustra semini promisit, and frustra seed ipsum venit. Lex not/no facit irritum as_if yam valeret to evacuandam promissionem: because was falsa, and God mendax.
