Law and Promise

10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse,(A) because it is written,(B) Everyone who does not do everything written in the book of the law is cursed.[a](C) 11 Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous will live(D) by faith.[b](E) 12 But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them.[c](F) 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us,(G) because it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.[d](H) 14 The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles by Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promised Spirit through faith.(I)
