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!
