Galatians 3:20-29
3:20 Now an intermediary is not for one party alone, but God is one.
3:21 Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God?
Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
3:22 But the scripture imprisoned
everything and everyone
under sin so that the promise could be given – because of the faithfulness
of Jesus Christ – to those who believe.
Sons of God Are Heirs of Promise
3:23 Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed.
3:24 Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith.
3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
3:26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith.
3:27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female – for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
3:29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to the promise.
