Galatians 3:21-24

21[Is] then the law against the promises of 1God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

22but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

23But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.

24So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.
