Galatians 3:26
24 So the law became our guardian to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
25 Now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus.
27 For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
