The Covenant in Christ
Galatians 3:17
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…


I. Its nature — a covenant of promise — of mercy:

II. Its antiquity — older than the law — old as the first promise.

III. Its Immutability — confirmed to (ver. 16) and in Christ — cannot be disannulled.

(J. Lyth.)



Parallel Verses
KJV: 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.

WEB: Now I say this. A covenant confirmed beforehand by God in Christ, the law, which came four hundred thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
