The Purpose of the Law

Galatians 3:19-25

Wherefore then serueth the Law? It was added because of the transgressions, til the seed came, vnto the which the promise was made: and it was ordeined by Angels in the hande of a Mediatour.

Nowe a Mediatour is not a Mediatour of one: but God is one.

Is the Lawe then against the promises of God? God forbid: For if there had bene a Lawe giuen which coulde haue giuen life, surely righteousnes should haue bene by the Lawe.

But the Scripture hath concluded all vnder sinne, that the promise by the faith of Iesus Christ should be giuen to them that beleeue.

But before faith came, we were kept vnder the Law, as vnder a garison, and shut vp vnto that faith, which should afterward be reueiled.

Wherefore the Lawe was our scholemaster to bring vs to Christ, that we might be made righteous by faith.

But after that faith is come, we are no longer vnder a scholemaster.
