Purpose of the Law
19 What purpose then does the law serve? aIt was added because of transgressions, till the bSeed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was cappointed through angels by the hand dof a mediator.
20 Now a mediator does not mediate for one only, abut God is one.
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.
22 But the Scripture has confined aall under sin, bthat the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law,1 kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
24 Therefore athe law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, bthat we might be justified by faith.
25 But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
Sons and Heirs
26 For you aare all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For aas many of you as were baptized into Christ bhave put on Christ.
28 aThere is neither Jew nor Greek, bthere is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all cone in Christ Jesus.
