The Addition Of The Law

²⁵ But now that faith [in Christ] has become available, we are no longer in need of this "transportation to school." ²⁶ For all of you are children of God through your faith in Christ Jesus [as God's only Son]. ²⁷ For all of you who were immersed into [a relationship with] Christ have been clothed with Him [i.e., His life].
