Galatians 3:24 Cross References - NSB

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.

¹⁷ »Do not think I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I came, not to destroy, but to fulfill (perfect) (execute) (accomplish). ¹⁸ »I solemnly tell you, heaven and earth would pass away before one small letter (detail) will pass away from the Law. All things must be accomplished.

³⁸ »You should know, men and brothers that it is through this man Jesus the forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you. ³⁹ »Through him all who believe are justified from all things. You could not be justified through the Law of Moses.

⁷ What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid! I had not known sin except through the law. For I had not known coveting except the law had said: You should not covet. ⁸ But sin, finding occasion, worked out in me through the commandment all manner of coveting. Apart from the law sin is dead. ⁹ I was alive apart from the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

²⁴ Miserable man that I am! Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death? ²⁵ Thanks to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ! So then I can serve God’s law only with my mind, while my human nature serves the law of sin.

⁴ Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who exerts active faith.

²⁰ No flesh will be justified before God by works of the law. Knowledge of sin comes from the law. ²¹ But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets. ²² God makes people righteous through their active faith in Jesus Christ. God does this to all who believe in Christ, because there is no difference at all.

¹⁵ Though you have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet you do not have many fathers. For in Christ Jesus I have given birth to you through the good news.

¹⁶ Yet we know that a man is not righteous by the works of the law, but through faith in Jesus Christ. We believed on Christ Jesus, that we might be righteous by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law. The works of the law justify no one.

¹⁹ I, through the law, died to the law that I might live to (for) God.

²⁵ Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

² He is under guardians and stewards until the day set by the father. ³ When we were children, we too were held in bondage. We were slaves to the arrangement of this world.

¹⁷ They are a shadow of the things to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

¹⁸ The former commandment was set aside because it was weak and useless. ¹⁹ The Law could not make anything perfect. A better hope has been provided through which we can draw near to God.

⁸ The Holy Spirit revealed that the way into the Most Holy Place was not open while the tent was still in use. ⁹ This is a symbol that points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper’s heart perfect, ¹⁰ since they have to do only with food, drink, and various purification ceremonies. These are all outward rules, which apply only until the time comes to change them for something better. ¹¹ Christ came as the high priest of the good things that are now here. He also went into a much better tent that is not made by humans and does not belong to this creation. ¹² He went once and forever into the Most Holy Place having eternal salvation. It is not with the blood of goats and young bulls, but with his blood. ¹³ The blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes from the burning of a young cow, sprinkled on the unclean made them outwardly clean. ¹⁴ The blood of Christ did even more. Through the eternal Spirit he offered himself without blemish to God and cleansed your conscience from dead works. Now we can serve (worship) the living God. ¹⁵ For this reason he is the mediator of a new covenant. A death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first covenant. Those called may receive the promise of everlasting inheritance. ¹⁶ A will is used for a person who is dead. It becomes effective only when the person dies.

¹ The Law is a shadow of the good things to come. It is not the actual things. The continual yearly sacrifices can never make those who worship perfect. ² If it could, it would cease to be offered. Once the worshipers were cleansed they would have no awareness of sin anymore. ³ These sacrifices are an annual reminder of sin. ⁴ It is not possible for the blood of bulls and of goats to take away sins. ⁵ When Christ came into the world he said: »‘Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but you have prepared a body for me. ⁶ »‘You have no pleasure in burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin.’ ⁷ »Then I said: ‘I have come in the scroll of the book. It is written about me, to do your will, O God.’« ⁸ Then he said: »You did not want nor did you approve of sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin;« which are offered by the Law. ⁹ He also said: »I come to do your will, O God.« He takes away the first in order to establish the second. ¹⁰ We are sanctified by his »will« through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. ¹¹ Every priest stands daily, serving and offering time after time the same sacrifices. Yet they can never take away sins. ¹² But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, ¹³ waiting until his enemies are placed as a stool for his feet. ¹⁴ With one offering he has perfected those who are sanctified forever.
