Galatians 3:19-29

191WhyG5101 the LawG3551 thenG3767? It was addedG4369 onG5484 accountG5484 ofG5484 the 2violationsG3847, having been 3orderedG1299 throughG1223 angelsG32 4at the handG5495 of a 5mediatorG3316, untilG891 6the SeedG4690 would comeG2064 to whomG3739 the promiseG1861 had been madeG1861. 20NowG1161 7a mediatorG3316 is not 8for oneG1520 party only; butG1161 GodG2316 is only oneG1520. 21Is the LawG3551 thenG3767 contraryG2596 to the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? 910FarG3361 fromG3361 it! For 11ifG1487 a lawG3551 had been givenG1325 that was ableG1410 to impartG2227 lifeG2227, then righteousnessG1343 12would indeedG3689 have beenG1510 13basedG1537 on lawG3551. 22But the ScriptureG1124 has 14confinedG4788 15everyoneG3956 underG5259 sinG266, soG2443 thatG2443 the promiseG1860 by faithG4102 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to thoseG3588 who believeG4100.

23But beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, 16we were keptG5432 inG5432 custodyG5432 underG5259 the LawG3551, 17being confinedG4788 for the faithG4102 that was destinedG3195 to be revealedG601. 24ThereforeG5620 the LawG3551 has becomeG1096 our 1819guardianG3807 to lead us to ChristG5547, soG2443 thatG2443 20we may be justifiedG1344 by faithG4102. 25But nowG1161 that faithG4102 has comeG2064, we are noG3765 longerG3765 underG5259 a 2122guardianG3807. 26For you are allG3956 23sonsG5207 and daughters of GodG2316 throughG1223 faithG4102 in 24ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 27For allG3745 of you whoG3745 were 25baptizedG907 into ChristG5547 have 26clothedG1746 yourselves with ChristG5547. 2827ThereG1762 isG1762 neitherG3756G1762 JewG2453 norG3761 GreekG1672, thereG1762 isG1762 neitherG3756G1762 slaveG1401 norG3761 freeG1658, thereG1762 isG1762 28neitherG3756G1762 maleG733 norG2532 femaleG2338; for 29you are allG3956 oneG1520 in 30ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 29And ifG1487 31you 32belong to ChristG5547, thenG686 you are Abraham’sG11 33descendantsG4690, heirsG2818 accordingG2596 to 34promiseG1860.
