Galatians 3:21-24 Is the law then against the promises of God? Of course not! Rather, if a law had been given that was capable of imparting life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

WPNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ²¹ Is the law then against the promises of God? Of course not! Rather, if a law had been given that was capable of imparting life, truly righteousness would have been by the law. ²² But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. ²³ Now before this faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, in confinement until the coming faith was revealed. ²⁴ So then, the law became our guardian until Christ, so that we might be justified by faith.
