Gal 3:24-25 | PNT | STEP | Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster . "Tutor", in the Revised Version. In Roman families a trusted slave, a pedagogue, had charge of children, preserved them from harm, and took them to school. The law is such a tutor; not a schoolmaster, but a guide to lead us to the school of Christ. There we are "justified by faith".

Galatians 3:24-25

Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster. "Tutor", in the Revised Version. In Roman families a trusted slave, a pedagogue, had charge of children, preserved them from harm, and took them to school. The law is such a tutor; not a schoolmaster, but a guide to lead us to the school of Christ. There we are "justified by faith". But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. When once brought to Christ we do not need the tutor any longer. We are no longer under him.
