Galatians 3:22-24
New American Standard Bible
22 But the Scripture has (A)confined [a]everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came, [b]we were kept in custody under the Law, (B)being confined for the faith that was destined to be revealed. 24 Therefore the Law has become our [c](C)guardian to lead us to Christ, so that (D)we may be justified by faith.
