Galatians 3:23-29

NLT

NIV

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.
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 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.
24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
25 And now that the way of faith has come, we no longer need the law as our guardian.
25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26 For you are all children of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
27 And all who have been united with Christ in baptism have put on Christ, like putting on new clothes.
27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you.
29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
