Galatians 3:20-25
New American Standard Bible
20 Now (A)a mediator is not [a]for one party only; but God is only one. 21 Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? [b](B)Far from it! For (C)if a law had been given that was able to impart life, then righteousness [c]would indeed have been [d]based on law. 22 But the Scripture has (D)confined [e]everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came, [f]we were kept in custody under the Law, (E)being confined for the faith that was destined to be revealed. 24 Therefore the Law has become our [g](F)guardian to lead us to Christ, so that (G)we may be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a [h](H)guardian.
