New Living Translation
Galatians 3:11-13
New Living Translation
11 So it is clear that no one can be made right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, “It is through faith that a righteous person has life.”[a] 12 This way of faith is very different from the way of law, which says, “It is through obeying the law that a person has life.”[b]
13 But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”[c]
