Galatians 3:21-Galatians 4:7 - The Purpose Of The Law Of Moses

²¹ Is the Law then opposed to the promises of God? Certainly not; for if a law had been given which could make alive, then righteousness would actually have come from law; ²² but the Scripture has shut up the whole world in prison together under sin, in order that the promise due to faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who have faith. ²³ Before the Faith came we were perpetual prisoners under the Law, in preparation for the destined faith about to be revealed. ²⁴ So the Law has been our tutor-slave our pedagogue to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith; ²⁵ but now that the Faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave. ²⁶ You are all sons of God through your faith in Jesus Christ.

²⁷ For all of you who were baptized into Christ, have clothed yourselves with Christ. ²⁸ In him there is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ And if you belong to Christ, then you are the descendants of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.

¹ What I mean is this. As long as the heir is a child, he differs in no respect from a slave, though he be the owner of the whole inheritance; ² but is under the control of guardians and trustees, until the time appointed by his father. ³ So we Jews also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the empty externalities of the world. ⁴ But when the fulness of time was come God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under law, ⁵ to redeem from captivity those under law, in order that we might receive our sonship. ⁶ And because you are sons, God sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Dear, dear Father!" ⁷ So each one of you is no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir, too, through God's grace.
