Galatians 3:21-24

21Is the LawG3551 thenG3767 contraryG2596 to the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? 1May it neverG3361 be! For 2ifG1487 a lawG3551 had been givenG1325 which was ableG1410 to impartG2227 lifeG2227, then righteousnessG1343 3would indeedG3689 have beenG1510 4basedG1537 on lawG3551. 22But the ScriptureG1124 has 5shutG4788 up 6everyoneG3956 underG5259 sinG266, soG2443 that the promiseG1860 by faithG4102 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to thoseG3588 who believeG4100.

23But beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, we were keptG5432 in custodyG5432 underG5259 the lawG3551, 7being shutG4788 up to the faithG4102 which was laterG3195 to be revealedG601. 24ThereforeG5620 the LawG3551 has becomeG1096 our 8tutorG3807 to lead us to ChristG5547, soG2443 that 9we may be justifiedG1344 by faithG4102.
