Galatians 3:10-14

New International Version

¹⁰For all who rely on the works of the law^(A) are under a curse,^(B) as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”^[a]^(C) ¹¹Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God,^(D) because “the righteous will live by faith.”^[b]^(E) ¹²The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”^[c]^(F) ¹³Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law^(G) by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.”^[d]^(H) ¹⁴He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus,^(I) so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.^(J)

Galatians 3:10-14

International Standard Version

No One is Justified by the Law

¹⁰Certainly 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] ¹¹Now it is obvious that no one is justified in the sight of God by the Law, because “The righteous will live by faith.”^[b] ¹²But the Law has nothing to do with faith. Instead, “The person who keeps the commandments^[c] will have life in them.”^[d] ¹³The 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] ¹⁴This 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.
