Church Fathers on Galatians 3:23
“But before faith came, we were kept inward under the Law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.” Here he clearly puts forward what I have stated: for the expressions “we were kept” and “shut up,” signify nothing else than the security given by the commandments of the Law; which like a fortress fenced them round with fear and a life conformable to itself, and so preserved them unto Faith.
