The Righteous Shall Live by Faith
10 For all who rely on works of the law are (A)under a curse; for it is written, (B)“Cursed be everyone who does not (C)abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that (D)no one is justified before God by the law, for (E)“The righteous shall live by faith.”[a] 12 But the law is not of faith, rather (F)“The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ (G)redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, (H)“Cursed is everyone who is hanged (I)on a tree”—

10 For all who rely on the works of the law(A) are under a curse,(B) as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”[a](C) 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God,(D) because “the righteous will live by faith.”[b](E) 12 The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”[c](F) 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law(G) by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”[d](H)

Romans 7:5-13
English Standard Version
5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work (A)in our members (B)to bear fruit for death. 6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the (C)new way of (D)the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.[a]
The Law and Sin
7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, (E)I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if (F)the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” 8 But sin, (G)seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. (H)For apart from the law, sin lies dead. 9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10 The very commandment (I)that promised life proved to be death to me. 11 For sin, (J)seizing an opportunity through the commandment, (K)deceived me and through it killed me. 12 So (L)the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.

5 For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](A) the sinful passions aroused by the law(B) were at work in us,(C) so that we bore fruit for death.(D) 6 But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(E) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(F)
The Law and Sin
7 What shall we say, then?(G) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(H) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(I) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b](J) 8 But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(K) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(L) 9 Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(M) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(N) deceived me,(O) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(P)
13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(Q) to bring about my death,(R) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.
