3:23 Now before faith ¹  came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners ²  until the coming faith would be revealed. 3:24 Thus the law had become our guardian ³  until Christ, so that we could be declared righteous ⁴  by faith. 3:25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. ⁵  3:26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. ⁶  3:27 For all of you who ⁷  were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave ⁸  nor free, there is neither male nor female ⁹  – for all of you are one in Christ Jesus. 3:29 And if you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s descendants, ¹⁰  heirs according to the promise.
