21Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could make alive, verily righteousness would have been of the law.
22But the scriptures shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
23But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24So that the law is become our tutor [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25But now faith that is come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus.
27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ.
