Galatians 3:22-25
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.
