Galatians 3:23-29

23But before faith came, 1we were kept in custody under the Law, 2being confined for the faith that was destined to be revealed.

24Therefore the Law has become our 3 4guardian to lead us to Christ, so that 5we may be justified by faith.

25But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a 6 7guardian.

26For you are all 8sons and daughters of God through faith in 9Christ Jesus.

27For all of you who were 10baptized into Christ have 11clothed yourselves with Christ.

28 12There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is 13neither male nor female; for 14you are all one in 15Christ Jesus.

29And if 16you 17belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s 18descendants, heirs according to 19promise.
