Galatians 3:25 Cross References - MNT

²⁵ but now that the Faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor-slave.

¹⁴ For sin shall not lord it over you; for you are not under the rule of law, but under the rule of grace.

⁴ So also, my brother, you were made dead to the Law through the body of Christ; that you should be joined to another, even to Him who was raised from the dead that we might bear fruit for God.

¹ What I mean is this. As long as the heir is a child, he differs in no respect from a slave, though he be the owner of the whole inheritance; ² but is under the control of guardians and trustees, until the time appointed by his father. ³ So we Jews also, when we were children, were held in bondage under the empty externalities of the world. ⁴ But when the fulness of time was come God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under law, ⁵ to redeem from captivity those under law, in order that we might receive our sonship. ⁶ And because you are sons, God sent forth the spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, "Dear, dear Father!"

¹¹ Now if there were perfection through the Levitical priesthood, (and it was under it that the people received the Law) why was it still necessary for another kind of priest to arise, after the order of Melchizedek, instead of being reckoned according to the order of Aaron? ¹² For when the priesthood changes, of necessity the law also changes. ¹³ He who is thus described belonged to another tribe, not one member of which has ever served at the altar. ¹⁴ For it is evident that our Lord was descended from Judah, a tribe of which Moses said nothing concerning the priesthood. ¹⁵ And this is yet more abundantly clear if, after the likeness of Melchizedek, there arises another Priest, ¹⁶ who has become such, not according to the law of a transitory enactment, but according to the energy of an indissoluble life. ¹⁷ For the words are in evidence, Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. ¹⁸ For there is a setting aside of a foregoing commandment, because of its weakness and unprofitableness ¹⁹ (for the Law brought nothing to perfection); and there is the bringing in of a better hope by which we draw near to God;

³ For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; whence it follows that this High Priest also must have some offering to make. ⁴ Now were he on earth, he would not even be a priest, since there are here those who present the gifts according to the Law— ⁵ those priests who serve a mere outline and shadow of the heavenly reality, just as Moses was divinely instructed when he was about to build the Tabernacle. "See", he says, "that you make everything on the pattern showed you on the mountain." ⁶ But Jesus has obtained a better ministry, by so much as he is also Mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted upon better promises. ⁷ For if the first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no need for a second. ⁸ But finding fault with them, He says. "There are days coming," says the Lord, "When I will establish with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah a new covenant; ⁹ Not according tot he covenant which I made with their forefathers, On the day when I took them by the hand to lead them forth out of the land of Egypt; For they did not continue in my covenant, And therefore I disregarded them," says the Lord. ¹⁰ "For this is the covenant which I will covenant with the house of Israel, After these days," says the Lord; "I will put my laws into their minds, And upon their hearts will I write them; And I will be their God, And they shall be my people; ¹¹ And they shall not teach every man his fellow citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord; For all shall know me, From the least to the greatest of them. ¹² For I will have mercy upon their wrong-doings, And their sins I will remember no more." ¹³ By calling the covenant "new," He has made the first one obsolete; and whatever is becoming obsolete and aged, is near to vanishing.

¹⁵ And the Holy Spirit also gives his testimony, when he said: ¹⁶ "This is the covenant I will make with them After those days," says the Lord. "I will set my laws upon their hearts, And I will inscribe them on their minds." ¹⁷ Then he adds, And their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. ¹⁸ But when these have been remitted, there is no more any offering for sin.
