Galatians 3:21-25 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid; for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law.

JPS_ASV_Byz⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid; for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law. ²² But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. ²³ But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. ²⁴ So that the law is become our tutor to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵ But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor.
