of{G1537} the law.{G3551} 22 But{G235} the scriptures{G1124} shut up{G4788} all{G3956} things under{G5259} sin,{G266} that{G2443} the promise{G1860} by{G1537} faith{G4102} in Jesus{G2424}

unto{G1519} the faith{G4102} which{G3588} should afterwards{G3195} be revealed.{G601} 24 So{G5620} that the law{G3551} is become{G1096} our{G2257} tutor{G3807} [to bring us] unto{G1519} Christ,{G5547}
