19. Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.
20. Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.
21. 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.
22. But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin, that the promise by faith in Yeshua the Messiah might be given to those who believe.
23. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
24. So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Messiah, that we might be justified by faith.
