The Complete Jewish Bible CJB
King James Version KJV
23 Now before the time for this trusting faithfulness came, we were imprisoned in subjection to the system which results from perverting the Torah into legalism, kept under guard until this yet-to-come trusting faithfulness would be revealed.
23
But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24 Accordingly, the Torah functioned as a custodian until the Messiah came, so that we might be declared righteous on the ground of trusting and being faithful.
24
Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 But now that the time for this trusting faithfulness has come, we are no longer under a custodian.
25
But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
26 For in union with the Messiah, you are all children of God through this trusting faithfulness;
26
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.
27 because as many of you as were immersed into the Messiah have clothed yourselves with the Messiah, in whom
27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28 there is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor freeman, neither male nor female; for in union with the Messiah Yeshua, you are all one.
28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
