# Covenant - Galatians 3 ## Notes - 2021.09.23 (15-25) - A covenant (G1242) cannot be canceled (G0114) or amended (G1928) once it is ratified (G2964) {15} - to ratify {“kuroó” (G2964)} comes from G2962 which is translated “Lord” and means “a person exercising absolute ownership rights” (15) - Therefore, a new law does not: - revoke (G0208) the previously established (G4300) covenant (G1242) (17) - nullify (G2673) the promise (G1860) (17) - The English word "promise" occurs 8-times in this section and comes from two different Greek words: - promise - G1860 {16, 17, 18-x2, 21, 22, 29} - promise which literally "announces what is fitting" - nearly always used of God's promises in the NT – and hence guaranteed by His own eternal Law (Being) - a legal term that refers to an officially sanctioned promise - promise - G1861 (19) --- #### Outbound Links - Scripture - [[Galatians_03]] - Studies - [[Covenant_&_Oath_Study|Covenant Bible Study]] - Other Notes - Topics - [[Covenant]] - [[Promise]] - Hebrew Words - Greek Words - canceled - [[G0114]] {15} - revoke - [[G0208]] {17} - covenant [[G1242]] (17) - amended - [[G1928]] {15} - Lord / Master - [[G2962]] (15) - ratified - [[G2964]] (15) - nullify - [[G2673]] {17} - established - [[G4300]] {17}
