Galatians 3:21-28
English Standard Version
21 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For (A)if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture (B)imprisoned everything under sin, so that (C)the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given (D)to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, (E)imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, (F)the law was our (G)guardian until Christ came, (H)in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus (I)you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as (J)were baptized (K)into Christ have (L)put on Christ. 28 (M)There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave[a] nor free, (N)there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
