23But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.

23Now before faith came, we were kept in custody under the Law, [perpetually] imprisoned [in preparation] for the faith that was destined to be revealed,

23Before this faith came, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.

23Before faith in Christ came, we were guarded by the law. We were locked up until this faith was made known.
