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

²¹ Is the law then opposite to the promises? by no means. for if there had been a law given, which could have given life, certainly justification should have been by the law. ²² but the scripture has declar'd all guilty of sin, that the blessing promised on condition of faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. ²³ but before faith came, we were shut up together as prisoners under the custody of the law, 'till faith was to be revealed. ²⁴ so that the law was our school-master to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵ but now faith being come, we are no longer under a pedagogue. ²⁶ for you are all the sons of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ for as many of you as have been baptized into christianity, have been invested as christians. ²⁸ there is now no distinction of Jew or Greek, of bond or free, of male or female: for you are all one in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ and if you belong to Christ, you are Abraham's offspring, and his heirs by virtue of the promise.

¹ Now I say, that the heir, as long as he is a child, is in a state of servitude, tho' he is to be lord of all; ² being under tutors and guardians, 'till the time prefix'd by his father. ³ even so we, whilst we were children, were in a state of servitude to the elements of the world. but when the time appointed was accomplished, ⁴ God sent forth his own son born of a woman, and subject to the law, to redeem those, ⁵ who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. ⁶ and because ye are sons, God has sent forth the spirit of his son into your hearts, crying Abba, that is, father; ⁷ so that thou art no longer a bond servant, but a son: and if a son, then an heir of God thro' Christ.
