Galatians 3:21 in Context — Galatians 3
19 Para que, pois, é a Lei? Ela foi ordenada por causa das transgressões, até que chegasse o descendente a quem a promessa havia sido feita; e foi posta pelos anjos na mão de um mediador.
20 Ora, o mediador não é de um só, mas Deus é um.
21 Acaso, pois, a Lei é contra as promessas de Deus? De maneira nenhuma! Pois, se a Lei houvesse sido entregue para que pudesse dar vida, na verdade a justiça teria sido pela Lei.
22 Mas a Escritura prendeu tudo debaixo do pecado a fim de que a promessa fosse dada aos crentes por meio da fé em Jesus Cristo.
23 Porém, antes que a fé viesse, estávamos vigiados sob a Lei, e presos, até que a fé fosse revelada.
