信耶稣的时代还没有来临以前，律法暂时监管我们。等到信耶稣之道显明出来后，律法就不再监管我们。

但信的道理还没有来到以前，我们在律法下被囚禁、被围困，直到那要来的信的道理显明出来。

只是在这信仰临到之前，我们都被圈在律法之下受看守，直到这将要来临的信仰被启示出来。

只是在這信仰臨到之前，我們都被圈在律法之下受看守，直到這將要來臨的信仰被啟示出來。

然信未著、我儕拘守律下、且為所囿、以俟將顯之信、

夫以信稱義之道未著、我眾為法所拘幽、以俟信道之顯、

信之道尚未顯著、我眾為律法所守、而被拘以俟信之道顯著、

惟在信德未興之前、吾人則受律法之監護約束、以俟行見啟示之信德。

Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.

Before faith in Christ came, we were guarded by the law. We were locked up until this faith was made known.

Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed.

Before the way of faith in Christ was available to us, we were placed under guard by the law. We were kept in protective custody, so to speak, until the way of faith was revealed.

Before this faith came, we were confined under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith was revealed.

But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.

But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

For God has shut up all in disobedience, so that He may show mercy to all.

Therefore the Law has become our guardian to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.

Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;

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,but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father.So we too, when we were children, were held in bondage under the elementary principles of the world.But when the fullness of the time came, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might receive the adoption as sons and daughters.

For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under the Law but under grace.What then? Are we to sin because we are not under the Law but under grace? Far from it!

Why the Law then? It was added on account of the violations, having been ordered through angels at the hand of a mediator, until the Seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the Law.

Turning to the disciples, He said privately,“ Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see;for I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things that you see, and did not see them, and to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.”

seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you, in these things which now have been announced to you through those who preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven— things into which angels long to look.

And all these, having gained approval through their faith, did not receive what was promised,because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might gain Jews; to those who are under the Law, I became as one under the Law, though not being under the Law myself, so that I might gain those who are under the Law;to those who are without the Law, I became as one without the Law, though not being without the law of God but under the law of Christ, so that I might gain those who are without the Law.

All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen and welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the Law?
