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 are of the works of the Law are under a curse, for it has been written that “Cursed is everyone who is not continuing-in[a] all the things having been written in the book of the Law, that he might do them”[Deut 27:26]. 11 And that no one is declared-righteous by[b] the Law before God is evident[c], because “The righteous one will live by faith” [Hab 2:4]. 12 But the Law is not of faith, but “The one having done these things shall live by them” [Lev 18:5]. 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us— because it has been written, “Cursed is everyone hanging on a tree” [Deut 21:23]— 14 in order that the blessing of [d] Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, in order that we might receive the promise of [e] the Spirit through faith.
