Galatians 3:21-24
21Is the LawG3551 thenG3767 contraryG2596 to the promisesG1860 of GodG2316? 12FarG3361 fromG3361 it! For 3ifG1487 a lawG3551 had been givenG1325 that was ableG1410 to impartG2227 lifeG2227, then righteousnessG1343 4would indeedG3689 have beenG1510 5basedG1537 on lawG3551. 22But the ScriptureG1124 has 6confinedG4788 7everyoneG3956 underG5259 sinG266, soG2443 thatG2443 the promiseG1860 by faithG4102 in JesusG2424 ChristG5547 might be givenG1325 to thoseG3588 who believeG4100.
23But beforeG4253 faithG4102 cameG2064, 8we were keptG5432 inG5432 custodyG5432 underG5259 the LawG3551, 9being confinedG4788 for the faithG4102 that was destinedG3195 to be revealedG601. 24ThereforeG5620 the LawG3551 has becomeG1096 our 1011guardianG3807 to lead us to ChristG5547, soG2443 thatG2443 12we may be justifiedG1344 by faithG4102.
