Galatians 3:23-25
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
23 And before the faith[a] came, we were being kept-in-custody[b] under the Law— being confined until[c] the faith destined to be revealed. 24 So then the Law has been[d] our tutor[e] leading-to[f] Christ, in order that we might be declared-righteous by faith. 25 But the faith having come, we are no longer under a tutor!

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.
