ASV

23. But before faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24. So that the law is become our tutor to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25. But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor.

  1. For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. (Galatians 3:23-27, ASV)
WEB

23. But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24. So that the law has become our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

25. But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

  1. For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. 27. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (Galatians 3:23-27, WEB)
KJV

23. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. 24. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.

23. And before the coming of the faith, under law we were being kept, shut up to the faith about to be revealed, 24. so that the law became our child-conductor, to Christ, that by faith we may be declared righteous,

25. and the faith having come, no more under a child-conductor are we,

  1. for ye are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus, 27. for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ; (Galatians 3:23-27, YLT)

Why these four translations

ris3n chose ASV, WEB, KJV, and YLT for two reasons together. They are the most literal English translations available (formal-equivalence: word-for-word renderings that preserve the Hebrew and Greek grammar rather than smoothing it into modern dynamic-equivalence idiom). And they are in the public domain in the United States, which means fair-use quotation at any length requires no publisher license. Modern licensed translations (NASB95, ESV, NIV) restrict volume of quotation under their copyright terms, so they are not used at stub-level coverage here. NASB95 appears only on hand-curated rich passage hubs under Lockman Foundation's fair-use allowance.

The four:

  • ASV (American Standard Version, 1901). The basis of the modern critical-text English tradition.
  • WEB (World English Bible, contemporary). Public-domain revision in the ASV line, in current English.
  • KJV (King James Version, 1611). Reformation-era, Textus Receptus base.
  • YLT (Young's Literal Translation, Robert Young, 1862). Hyper-literal preservation of Hebrew and Greek grammar; useful for word-study work even where English reads stiff.
