Galatians 3:23-26 But before faith came the Law held us in custody. We were locked up until faith was revealed.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ²³ But before faith came the Law held us in custody. We were locked up until faith was revealed. ²⁴ The Law was our schoolmaster (Greek: paedagogue: a combination of schoolmaster, instructor, servant and guardian in charge of us) to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. ²⁵ Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. ²⁶ You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
