Book of Common Prayer
23 And before the faith[a] came, we were being kept-in-custody[b] under the Law— being confined until[c] the faith destined to be revealed. 24 So then the Law has been[d] our tutor[e] leading-to[f] Christ, in order that we might be declared-righteous by faith. 25 But the faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor! 26 For you all are sons[g] of God through faith in Christ Jesus! 27 For all you who were baptized into Christ put-on[h] Christ. 28 There is no Jew nor Greek, there is no slave nor free, there is no male and female. For you all are one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are seed of Abraham— heirs according-to the promise.
4 But when the fullness of time came, God sent-forth His Son— having come[a] from a woman, having come under the Law 5 in order that He might redeem the ones under the Law, in order that we [all] might receive the adoption. 6 And because[b] you are sons, God sent-forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts crying-out, “Abba! Father!” 7 So then you are no longer a slave, but a son— and if a son, also an heir through God!
