Hastings' Dictionary of the New Testament [1]
The word ‘tutor,’ which has taken the place of ‘schoolmaster’ ( q.v. [Note: .v. quod vide, which see.]) in the Revised Versionof Galatians 3:24, and of ‘instructed’ in 1 Corinthians 4:15, has itself given place to ‘guardian’ in the only passage of Scripture where it formerly appeared- Galatians 4:2. It has in this passage, however, not an educational but a strictly legal connotation, rendering the word ἐπιτρόπους, in close connexion with οἰκονόμους-‘guardians and stewards.’ The ἐπίτροπος is here employed to describe the guardian of the child under the will of the father, potentially if the father is still alive, actually if he is dead. Bengel calls the ἐπίτροπος tutor heredis , the οἰκονόμος curator bonorum . Under Roman law a minor came of age at twenty-five, and was under a tutor till fourteen and a curator till his minority ceased. This was ‘the day appointed of the father,’ and St. Paul here compares the state of the world, both Jewish and Gentile, before Christ came to an heir in his minority. Then ‘when the fulness of the time came, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, that he might redeem them which were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons’ ( Galatians 4:4).
