What purpose then does the Law serve? It was added because of transgressions, till the Seed should come to whom the promise was made; and it was appointed through angels by the hand of a mediator.

Therefore the Law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

But now, knowing God, or rather being known by God, how is it that you turn again to the feeble and worthless principles, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and is in bondage with her children;

So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in (who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),

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

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and do not be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Then Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you continue to abide in My Word, you are truly My disciples.

Now therefore, why do you test God by putting a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

For you did not receive a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, Abba, Father.

But now, knowing God, or rather being known by God, how is it that you turn again to the feeble and worthless principles, to which you desire again to be in bondage?

Beware that no one rob you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the traditions of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.

Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to decrees;

who has come, not according to the law of a fleshly commandment, but according to the power of an endless life.
