The Law Brings a Curse

¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, ^(A)“Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”

^26 (A)‘Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the words of this law by observing them.’

“And all the people shall say, ‘Amen!’ ”

⁷ Because ^(A)the ^[a]carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, ^(B)nor indeed can be.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever ^(A)the law says, it says to those who are under the law, that ^(B)every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become ^[a]guilty before God. ²⁰ Therefore ^(C)by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

⁹ but if you ^[a]show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the law as ^(A)transgressors. ¹⁰ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet ^(B)stumble in one point, ^(C)he is guilty of all. ¹¹ For He who said, ^(D)“Do not commit adultery,” also said, ^(E)“Do not murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but you do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

¹⁵ because ^(A)the law brings about wrath; for where there is no law there is no transgression.

²³ For ^(A)the wages of sin is death, but ^(B)the ^[a]gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

³ and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God of Israel: ^(A)“Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant

^26 (A)“Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse: ^27 (B)the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today; ²⁸ and the ^(C)curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
