Reading

The Letter of Saint Paul to the Galatians   3: 22-29

3:22	But Scripture has enclosed everything under sin, so that the promise, by the faith of Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
3:23	But before the faith arrived, we were preserved by being enclosed under the law, unto that faith which was to be revealed.
3:24	And so the law was our guardian in Christ, in order that we might be justified by faith.
3:25	But now that faith has arrived, we are no longer under a guardian.
3:26	For you are all sons of God, through the faith which is in Christ Jesus.
3:27	For as many of you as have been baptized in Christ have become clothed with Christ.
3:28	There is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither servant nor free; there is neither male nor female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
3:29	And if you are Christ’s, then are you the offspring of Abraham, heirs according to the promise.
