Galatians 3:9-14

New American Standard Bible

⁹So then, ^(A)those who are of faith are blessed with ^[a]Abraham, the believer.

¹⁰For all who are of works of ^[b]the Law are under a curse; for it is written: “^(B)Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the Law, to do them.” ¹¹Now, that ^(C)no one is justified ^[c]by ^[d]the Law before God is evident; for, “^[e]^(D)the righteous one will live by faith.” ¹²^[f]However, the Law is not ^[g]of faith; on the contrary, “^(E)The person who performs ^[h]them will live by ^[i]them.” ¹³Christ ^(F)redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written: “^(G)Cursed is everyone who hangs on ^(H)a ^[j]tree”— ¹⁴in order that ^(I)in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we ^(J)would receive ^(K)the promise of the Spirit through faith.

Galatians 3:9-14

New International Version

⁹So those who rely on faith^(A) are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.^(B)

¹⁰For all who rely on the works of the law^(C) are under a curse,^(D) as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”^[a]^(E) ¹¹Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God,^(F) because “the righteous will live by faith.”^[b]^(G) ¹²The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”^[c]^(H) ¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law^(I) by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”^[d]^(J) ¹⁴He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,^(K) so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.^(L)
