First ReadingGalatians 3:22-29
From the Letter of Paul to the Galatians
22But the Scripture imprisoned all things under sin,that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe.
23But before faith came,we were kept in custody under the law,confined for the faithwhich should afterwards be revealed.24So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ,that we might be justified by faith.25But now that faith has come,we are no longer under a tutor.26For you are all children 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 man,there is neither male nor female;for you are all one in Christ Jesus.29If you are Christ’s,then you are Abraham’s offspringand heirs according to promise.
