Galatians 3:22-24
New King James Version
22 But the Scripture has confined (A)all under sin, (B)that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, [a]kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. 24 Therefore (C)the law was our [b]tutor to bring us to Christ, (D)that we might be justified by faith.

English Standard Version
22 But the Scripture (A)imprisoned everything under sin, so that (B)the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given (C)to those who believe.
23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, (D)imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, (E)the law was our (F)guardian until Christ came, (G)in order that we might be justified by faith.
