Galatians 3:10-14
International Standard Version
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.
