Living Royally
19 (A) Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been (B) ordained through angels (C) by the agency of a mediator, until (D) the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.
20 Now (E) a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one.
21 Is the Law then contrary to the promises of God? (F) May it never be! For (G) if a law had been given which was able to impart life, then righteousness would indeed have been based on law.
22 But the Scripture has (H) shut up everyone under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23 But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, (I) being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.
24 Therefore the Law has become our (J) tutor to lead us to Christ, so that (K) we may be justified by faith.
25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a (L) tutor.
26 For you are all (M) sons of God through faith in (N) Christ Jesus.
27 For all of you who were (O) baptized into Christ have (P) clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 (Q) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free man, there is neither male nor female; for (R) you are all one in (S) Christ Jesus.
29 And if (T) you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's descendants, heirs according to (U)promise.
Galatians 4
1 Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave although he is owner of everything, 2 but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.
3 So also we, while we were children, were held (V) in bondage under the (W) elemental things of the world.
4 But when (X) the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, (Y) born of a woman, born (Z) under the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as (AA) sons.
6 Because you are sons, (AB) God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "(AC) Abba! Father!"
7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and (AD) if a son, then an heir through God.
