Galatians 3:23-26 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up to the faith which should afterwards be revealed. ²⁴ Why the law was our schoolmaster to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵ But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. ²⁶ For you are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
