Book of Common Prayer

²³ Before faith came, we were kept and shut up under the law, with a view to the faith that would afterward be declared. ²⁴ Therefore the law was our schoolmaster to the time of Christ, so that we may be made righteous by faith. ²⁵ But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

²⁶ For you are all the sons of God by the faith which is in Christ Jesus. ²⁷ For all you who are baptized have put on Christ. ²⁸ Now there is neither Jew nor Gentile, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither man nor woman, but you are all one thing in Christ Jesus. ²⁹ If you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs by promise.

⁴ But when the time was full come, God sent his Son, born of a woman and made bond to the law, ⁵ to redeem those who were under the law, in order that we through election could receive the inheritance that belongs to the natural sons. ⁶ Because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, who cries, Abba, Father! ⁷ Therefore now you are not a servant, but a son. If you are a son, you are also the heir of God through Christ.
