Galatians 3:9-14

Tree of Life Version

^[a] ⁹So then, the faithful are blessed along with Abraham, the faithful one.

¹⁰For all who rely on the deeds of Torah are under a curse—for the Scriptures say, “Cursed is everyone who does not keep doing everything written in the scroll of the Torah.” ^[b] ¹¹It is clear that no one is set right before God by Torah, for “the righteous shall live by emunah.” ^[c] ¹²However, Torah is not based on trust and faithfulness; on the contrary, “the one who does these things shall live by them.” ^[d] ¹³Messiah liberated us from Torah’s curse, having become a curse for us (for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”^[e])— ¹⁴in order that through Messiah Yeshua the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so we might receive the promise of the Ruach through trusting faith.

Galatians 3:9-14

New International Version

⁹So those who rely on faith^(A) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.^(B)

¹⁰For all who rely on the works of the law^(C) are under a curse,^(D) as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”^[a]^(E) ¹¹Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God,^(F) because “the righteous will live by faith.”^[b]^(G) ¹²The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”^[c]^(H) ¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law^(I) by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”^[d]^(J) ¹⁴He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,^(K) so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.^(L)
