3.17 Hoc autem dico.

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.

Lex not/no he_does irritum. That it_is, falsum: that would_do, when/but_if through her would_be_given benedictio. Promissio because that not/no he_said, that through lawfullym, but through seed. That when/but_if through the_law benedictio, therefore in_vain semini promised, and in_vain seed him he_came. Lex not/no he_does irritum as_if already valeret to evacuandam promisenem: because was falsa, and God liar.
