Other Translations - Galatians
3:23-29:
Before
this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law,
locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law
was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might
be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we
are no longer under the supervision of the law. You
are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus,
for all of you who were baptized into Christ have
clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew
nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you
are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to
Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs
according to the promise. (NIV)
But
before faith came, we were kept under guard by the
law, kept for the faith which would afterward be
revealed. Therefore the law was our tutor to bring
us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But after faith has come, we are no longer under a
tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in
Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized
into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew
nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is
neither male nor female; for you are all one in
Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ's, then you are
Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
(NKJ)
But
before faith came, we were kept in ward under the
law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards
be revealed. So that the law is become our tutor (to
bring us) unto Christ, that we might be justified by
faith. But now faith that is come, we are no longer
under a tutor. For ye are all sons of God, through
faith, in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were
baptized into Christ did put on Christ. There can be
neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor
free, there can be no male and female; for ye all
are one (man) in Christ Jesus. And if ye are
Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs
according to promise. (ASV)
But
before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut
up unto the faith which should afterwards be
revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to
bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by
faith. But after that faith is come, we are no
longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the
children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as
many of you as have been baptized into Christ have
put on Christ. 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. And if
ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and
heirs according to the promise. (KJV) |
