Galatians 3:23-29

Expanded Bible

²³ Before this faith came, we were all held prisoners by the law. We ·had no freedom [were locked up] until ·God showed us the way of faith that was coming [^Lthe coming faith would be revealed]. ²⁴ In other words, the law was our ·guardian [child-minder; tutor; ^Can attendant slave who watched over a child in a wealthy Greco-Roman household] ·leading us to [or until] Christ so that we could be ·made right with God [declared righteous; justified] through faith. ²⁵ Now ·the way of faith [^Lfaith] has come, and we no longer live under a ·guardian [child-minder; tutor; v. 24].

²⁶ [^LFor] ·You are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus [or In Christ Jesus you are all children/sons of God through faith]. ²⁷ [^LFor] All of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. ²⁸ In Christ, there is ·no difference between Jew and Greek [^Lneither Jew nor Greek], slave and free person, male and female. You are all ·the same [or united; ^Lone] in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ ·You [^LIf you…] belong to Christ, so you are Abraham’s ·descendants [seed]. ·You will inherit all of God’s blessings because of the promise God made to Abraham [^L…heirs according to the promise].
