“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.”
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. — the 430-year interval (from Abraham to Moses/law) establishes the law's temporal posteriority; a covenant ('diathēkē') established earlier cannot be negated ('akyrō' — annul, void) by a later instrument like the law.
