   11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is   
   evident: for, The just shall live by faith.   
      
   12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live   
   in them.   
      
   13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse   
   for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:   
      
   14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus   
   Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.   
      
   15 Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though it be but a man's   
   covenant, yet if it be confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto.   
      
   16 Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And   
   to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.   
      
   17 And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God   
   in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after,   
   cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.   
      
   18 For if the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise: but   
   God gave it to Abraham by promise.   
      
   19 Wherefore then serveth the law? It was added because of   
   transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made;   
   and it was ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator.   
      
   20 Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one.   
      
   21 Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there   
   had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness   
   should have been by the law.   
      
   22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by   
   faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.   
      
   23 But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the   
   faith which should afterwards be revealed.   
      
   24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that   
   we might be justified by faith.   
      
   25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.   
      
   26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.   
      
   27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.   
      
   28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there   
   is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.   
      
   29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs   
   according to the promise.
