Sons of God Are Heirs of Promise
3:23Now before faith51 came we were held in custody under the law, being kept as prisoners52 until the coming faith would be revealed.
Footnotes
- 51 Or “the faithfulness [of Christ] came.”
- 52 Instead of the present participle συγκλειόμενοι (sunkleiomenoi; found in 𝔓46 א A B D* F G P Ψ 33 1739 ), C D1 0176 0278 𝔐 have the perfect συγκεκλεισμένοι (sunkekleismenoi). The syntactical implication of the perfect is that the cause or the means of being held in custody was confinement (“we were held in custody [by/because of] being confined”). The present participle of course allows for such options, but also allows for contemporaneous time (“while being confined”) and result (“with the result that we were confined”). Externally, the perfect participle has little to commend it, being restricted for the most part to later and Byzantine witnesses. Grk “being confined.”
