Galatians 3:10-14
Lexham English Bible
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse, for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things that are written in the book of the law to do them.”[a] 11 Now it is clear that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because “the one who is righteous will live by faith.”[b] 12 But the law is not from faith, but “the one who does these things will live by them.”[c]
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by[d] becoming a curse for us, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”[e] 14 in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
