Galatians
King James Version (KJV)


“Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.”
King James Version (KJV)
3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster unto Christ - It was designed to train us up for Christ. And this it did both by its commands, which showed the need we had of his atonement; and its ceremonies, which all pointed us to him.
Ga 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster. "Tutor", in the Revised Version. In Roman families a trusted slave, a pedagogue, had charge of children, preserved them from harm, and took them to school. The law is such a tutor; not a schoolmaster, but a guide to lead us to the school of Christ. There we are "justified by faith".
Wherefore the Law was our Schoolemaster to bring vs vnto Christ, that we might be iustified by Faith.
