If then I do that which I would not, I consent to the law that it is good.

But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our school-master to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith is come, we are no longer under a school-master. For ye are all children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ, have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
