Galatians 3:10-14
New American Standard Bible
10 For all who are of works of [a]the Law are under a curse; for it is written: “(A)Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all the things written in the book of the Law, to do them.” 11 Now, that (B)no one is justified [b]by [c]the Law before God is evident; for, “[d](C)the righteous one will live by faith.” 12 [e]However, the Law is not [f]of faith; on the contrary, “(D)The person who performs [g]them will live by [h]them.” 13 Christ (E)redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us—for it is written: “(F)Cursed is everyone who hangs on (G)a [i]tree”— 14 in order that (H)in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we (I)would receive (J)the promise of the Spirit through faith.

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.
