"But the scripture shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. "
— Galatians 3:22, American Standard Version
“But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.”
“But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.”
“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.”
“But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to them that believe.”
“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.”
“But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.”
What then is the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise hath been made; and it was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not a mediator of one; but God is one.
Is 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.
But the scripture shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.
But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
So that the law is become our tutor to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor.
