Kehilah In Galatia 3:21-29 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

21. Is the Torah, mimeila (consequently, as a result), against the havtachot (promises) of Hashem? Chas v'Shalom (G-d forbid!)! For if Torah had been given that had the ko'ach (power) to affect hitkhadshut (regeneration), then to be YITZDAK IM HASHEM ("justified with G-d") would indeed have been based on chukim of the Torah.

22. But the Kitvei HaKodesh consigned all things under HaChet (Sin) [Ro 3:9], that the havtachah (promise) might be given by emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua to the ma'aminim.

23. But before Emunah came, we were being held in custody, being confined and guarded for the about-to-be revealed Emunah.

24. This is the result: the Torah functioned as our omenet (governess) to lead us to Moshiach, that by emunah we might be YITZDAK IM HASHEM.

25. But Emunah having come, we are no longer under an omenet (governess).

26. For through emunah in Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach Yehoshua, you are all yeladim of Elohim.

27. For as many as have had a tevilah into Moshiach have clothed yourselves with Moshiach.

28. There is not Yehudi nor Yevani (Greek), there is not eved (servant) nor Ben Chorin (freedman), there is not zachar (male) nor nekevah (female), for you are all echad in Moshiach Yehoshua.

29. And, if you belong to Moshiach (YESHAYAH 53:10), then you are of the ZERA of Avraham Avinu, you are yoreshim (heirs) according to the havtachah (promise).
