NASB
"But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed."
— Galatians 3:23, NASB
“But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.”
“But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. ”
“But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.”
“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.”
“But before the faith came, we were kept under the law shut up, unto that faith which was to be revealed.”
“But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.”
“But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.”
Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one.
Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? May it never be! For if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.
But the Scripture has shut up everyone under sin, so 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, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.
Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.
But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
