"But the Scriptures imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe."
— Galatians 3:22, World English Bible
“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 scripture shut up all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to them that 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, until the seed should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.
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.
