Galatians 3:23-25

Expanded Bible

²³ Before this faith came, we were all held prisoners by the law. We ·had no freedom [were locked up] until ·God showed us the way of faith that was coming [^Lthe coming faith would be revealed]. ²⁴ In other words, the law was our ·guardian [child-minder; tutor; ^Can attendant slave who watched over a child in a wealthy Greco-Roman household] ·leading us to [or until] Christ so that we could be ·made right with God [declared righteous; justified] through faith. ²⁵ Now ·the way of faith [^Lfaith] has come, and we no longer live under a ·guardian [child-minder; tutor; v. 24].
