I do not annul God's grace; but if righteousness comes by way of the Law, then indeed Christ's death was useless.

Brothers, I am going to use a human illustration: Even a human contract, once it has been ratified, no one can annul or change.

Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.
