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.”
