Galatians 3:19-29 - The Addition Of The Law
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? The law was added because of transgression - till the seed came, to which the promise was made - and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. 20 A mediator is not a mediator of one. But God is one. 21 Is the law, then, against the promise of God? God forbid. Howbeit, if there had been a law given which could have given life: then no doubt righteousness should have come by the law. 22 But the scripture concluded all things under sin, that the promise by the faith of Jesus Christ should be given unto them that believe. 23 Before that faith came, we were kept and shut up under the law, unto the faith which should afterward be declared. 24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster unto the time of Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith. 25 But after that faith is come, now are we no longer under a schoolmaster. 26 For ye are all the sons of God, by the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
27 For all ye that are baptised, have put on Christ. 28 Now is there no Jew, neither gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman: but ye are all one thing in Christ Jesus. 29 If ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs by promise.
