(YLT)   Why, then, the law? on account of the transgressions it was added, till the seed might come to which the promise hath been made, having been set in order through messengers in the hand of a mediator --

(YLT)   the law, then, is against the promises of God? -- let it not be! for if a law was given that was able to make alive, truly by law there would have been the righteousness,

24

(GRK)   wste o nomov paidagwgov hmwn gegonen eiv criston ina ek pistewv dikaiwywmen
(YLT)   so that the law became our child-conductor -- to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,
(KJV)   Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
(ASV)   So that the law is become our tutor to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

 

25

(GRK)   elyoushv de thv pistewv ouketi upo paidagwgon esmen

(KJV)   But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

(ASV)   There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one man in Christ Jesus.
