Galatians 3:10-14

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

10 For all who rely on works of the law are m under a curse; for it is written, n "Cursed be everyone who does not o abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them." 11 Now it is evident that p no one is justified before God by the law, for q "The righteous shall live by faith." 1 12 But the law is not of faith, rather r "The one who does them shall live by them." 13 Christ s redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us - for it is written, t "Cursed is everyone who is hanged u on a tree" - 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might v come to the Gentiles, so that w we might receive x the promised Spirit 2 through faith.
