But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
All Commentaries on Galatians 3:23 Go To Galatians 3
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
Before faith came. Like slaves under the stern discipline of the law, we were kept as though by walls and hedges from sin, and were held, and kept in, that we might be thereby prepared, and might learn to long for the righteousness which Christ should give.
