23But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed.

24Therefore the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

26For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.

27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

28There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

29And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

1Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all,

2but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father.

3Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world.

4But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law,

5to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

12Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God.

13And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles:

14Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; James and John; Philip and Bartholomew;

15Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon called the Zealot;

16Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot who also became a traitor.

17And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases,

18as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed.

19And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.
