No One is Justified by the Law

¹⁰ Certainly all who depend on the actions of the Law are under a curse. For it is written, “A curse on everyone who does not obey everything that is written in the Book of the Law!”^{[a] 11} Now it is obvious that no one is justified in the sight of God by the Law, because “The righteous will live by faith.”^{[b] 12} But the Law has nothing to do with faith. Instead, “The person who keeps the commandments^[c] will have life in them.”^{[d] 13} The Messiah^[e] redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written, “A curse on everyone who is hung on a tree!”^{[f] 14} This happened^[g] in order that the blessing promised to^[h] Abraham would come to the gentiles through the Messiah^[i] Jesus, so that we might receive the promised Spirit^[j] through faith.
