Galatians 3:21-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 3
21
Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? Far from it! For if a law had been given that was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.
22
But the Scripture has confined everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23
But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the Law, being confined for the faith that was destined to be revealed.
24
Therefore the Law has become our guardian
to lead us
to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.
25
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
King James Version
Chapter 3
21
Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law.
22
But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
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.
25
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 3
21
Is the law therefore contrary to God’s promises? Absolutely not! For if the law had been granted with the ability to give life, then righteousness would certainly be on the basis of the law.
22
But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin’s power, so that the promise might be given on the basis of faith in Jesus Christ to those who believe.
23
Before this faith came, we were confined under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.
24
The law, then, was our guardian until Christ, so that we could be justified by faith.
25
But since that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,
New Living Translation
Chapter 3
21
Is there a conflict, then, between God’s law and God’s promises? Absolutely not! If the law could give us new life, we could be made right with God by obeying it.
22
But the Scriptures declare that we are all prisoners of sin, so we receive God’s promise of freedom only by believing in Jesus Christ.
23
Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed.
24
Let me put it another way. The law was our guardian until Christ came; it protected us until we could be made right with God through faith.
25
And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.
English Standard Version
Chapter 3
21
Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law.
22
But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23
Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.
24
So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.
25
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian,
New International Version
Chapter 3
21
Is the law, therefore, opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
22
But Scripture has locked up everything under the control of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
23
Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24
So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
25
Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
New King James Version
Chapter 3
21
Is
the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could have given life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.
22
But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23
But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
24
Therefore the law was our tutor
to bring us
to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25
But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
