But after that faith is come
That is, since Christ the object of faith is come in the flesh,
and has fulfilled the law, and redeemed them that were under it
from its bondage, curse, and condemnation:
we are no longer under a schoolmaster;
under the law as such; as no longer under it as a military guard,
nor in it as a prison, so neither under it as a schoolmaster; not
needing its instructions, or its discipline; since Christ is come
as a prophet to teach and instruct, as a priest to atone for sin,
and make intercession for transgressors, and as a King to rule
and govern; in whose hands, and not in the hands of Moses, the
law now is, as a rule of walk and conversation.
