Galatians 3:23-29
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 Now before faith came, we were imprisoned and guarded under the law until faith would be revealed. 24 Therefore the law was our disciplinarian until Christ came, so that we might be reckoned as righteous[a] by faith.(A) 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer subject to a disciplinarian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith.(B) 27 As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.(C) 28 There is no longer Jew or Greek; there is no longer slave or free; there is no longer male and female, for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.(D) 29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s offspring,[b] heirs according to the promise.(E)

Galatians 3:23-29
International Standard Version
23 Now before faith came about, we were held in custody and confined under the Law in preparation for the faith that was to be revealed. 24 And so the Law was our guardian until the Messiah[a] came, so that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come about, we are no longer under a guardian.
You are God’s Children
26 For all of you are God’s children through faith in the Messiah[b] Jesus. 27 Indeed, all of you who were baptized into the Messiah[c] have clothed yourselves with the Messiah.[d] 28 Because all of you are one in the Messiah[e] Jesus, a person is no longer a Jew or a Greek, a slave or a free person, a male or a female. 29 And if you belong to the Messiah,[f] then you are Abraham’s descendants indeed, and heirs according to the promise.
