Bible in Basic English

22

However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.

23

But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

24

So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.

25

But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a servant.

26

Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

27

For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

28

There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

29

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

    “But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 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. And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. ”

    “But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed. So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to promise.”

  • NET

    “But the scripture imprisoned everything under sin so that the promise could be given– because of the faithfulness of Jesus Christ– to those who believe. Sons of God Are Heirs of Promise Now before faith came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners until the coming faith would be revealed. Thus the law had become our guardian until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous by faith. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female– for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, heirs according to the promise.”

Galatians 3 — Context

19

What then is the law? It was an addition made because of sin, till the coming of the seed to whom the undertaking had been given; and it was ordered through angels by the hand of a go-between.

20

Now a go-between is not a go-between of one; but God is one.

21

Is the law then against the words of God? in no way; because if there had been a law which was able to give life, truly righteousness would have been by the law.

22

However, the holy Writings have put all things under sin, so that that for which God gave the undertaking, based on faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who have such faith.

23

But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

24

So the law has been a servant to take us to Christ, so that we might have righteousness by faith.

25

But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a servant.

26

Because you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

27

For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

28

There is no Jew or Greek, servant or free, male or female: because you are all one in Jesus Christ.

29

And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.
