2 But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father.



Ver. 2. But is under tutors] Those under the law were but alphabetaries (rudimentaries) in comparison of those under the gospel. {a} The sea about the altar was brazen, 1Ki_7:23, and what eyes could pierce through it? Now our sea about the throne is glassy, Rev_4:6, like to crystal, clearly conveying the light and sight of God to our eyes.
