Galatians 3:23-4:5 (Epistle)

23
But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.
24
Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25
But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.
26
For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27
For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29
And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
1
Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,
2
but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.
3
Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.
4
But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
5
to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.
