Galatians 3:6-13

6So also, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.”1 7Understand, then, that those who have faith are sons of Abraham. 8The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and foretold the gospel to Abraham: “All nations will be blessed through you.”2 9So those who have faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

10All who rely on works of the law are under a curse. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”3 11Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”4 12The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”5

13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”6
