Galatians 3:25 - But now that faith has come, we are no longer under [the control and authority of] a tutor and disciplinarian.
2 Corinthians 3:6 - He has qualified us [making us sufficient] as ministers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not of the letter [of a written code] but of the Spirit; for the letter [of the Law] kills [by revealing sin and demanding obedience], but the Spirit gives life.
