Galatians 3:11-13
International Children’s Bible
11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by the law. The Scriptures say, “He who is right with God by faith will live.”[a] 12 The law does not use faith. It says, “A person who does these things will live forever because of them.”[b] 13 So the law put a curse on us, but Christ took away that curse. He changed places with us and put himself under that curse. It is written in the Scriptures, “Everyone whose body is displayed on a tree[c] is cursed.”
