Galatians 3:21-28

21Is the law therefore contrary to God’s promises? Absolutely not! For if the law had been granted with the ability to give life, then righteousness would certainly be on the basis of the law.

22But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin’s power, so that the promise might be given on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.

23Before this faith came, we were confined under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.

24The law, then, was our guardian until Christ, so that we could be justified by faith.

25But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,

26for through faith you are all sons of God in Christ Jesus.

27For those of you who were baptized into Christ have been clothed with Christ.

28There is no Jew or Greek, slave or free, male and female; since you are all one in Christ Jesus.
