Galatians 3:18-29
-
18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but God gave it to Abraham by promise.
-
19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.
-
20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.
-
21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
-
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
-
23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
-
24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
-
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
-
26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
-
27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
-
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
-
29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
