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.

10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be every one who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no man is justified before God by the law; for “He who through faith is righteous shall live”;[a] 12 but the law does not rest on faith, for “He who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree”— 14 that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
