Galatians 3:25

But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.

Cross-reference

In Galatians 3:23, the 'before faith' imprisonment contrasts with the freedom from the guardian now that faith has come.

Galatians 3:19 explains why the law was given (until the offspring came), which is the very purpose that ends in Galatians 3:25.

Galatians 3:24 states the law was a guardian until Christ; Galatians 3:25 then says now that faith has come, we are no longer under it.

In Galatians 4:1-6, the heir under guardians and then freed mirrors the transition from being under the law to receiving adoption as sons.

Galatians 5:1 calls believers to stand firm in the freedom Christ gave, directly building on the 'no longer under guardian' in Galatians 3:25.

Galatians 4:3 describes our former enslavement to elemental principles, contrasting with the freedom from the guardian in Galatians 3:25.

Romans 6:14 Parallel

In Romans 6:14, the same contrast appears: believers are not under law but under grace, no longer under a guardian.

Romans 7:4 Parallel

In Romans 7:4, dying to the law through Christ echoes the freedom from the guardian now that faith has come.

Hebrews 8:3 Parallel

In Hebrews 8:6-13, the new covenant replaces the old, rendering the law obsolete — consistent with being no longer under its guardianship.

In Hebrews 10:17-18, forgiveness removes the need for further sacrifices — ending the law's role, just as faith ends the guardian's role.

In Hebrews 7:18-19, the former commandment is set aside as weak — the same reason we are no longer under the law's guardianship.
