[TD]Galatians 3:17
King James Bible
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.
Jubilee Bible 2000
And this I say that regarding the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot cancel it, that it should make the promise of no effect.

and this I say, A covenant confirmed before by God to Christ, the law, that came four hundred and thirty years after, doth not set aside, to make void the promise,

The NIV says "previously established"
e.g.
And this I say: Regarding the (Abrahamic) covenant, that was previously established by God in Christ, the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul it, which would then make the Promise of no effect.
(I find it really really odd that the Greek says "eis Christos" and many translations omit to mention Christ)
Does eis mean "looking forward to" ?

So how does the keeping of a conditional covenant impact the release of unconditional Promises?
Genesis 17 19 "No, for I have chosen him (Abraham), that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice; so that the Lord may bring about for Abraham what he has promised him.”
So, it seems like I am wrong then, and the Promises are actually conditional?
