Galatians 3:10-24

10For as many as are on the principle of works of law are under curse. For it is written, Cursed is every one who does not continue in all things which [are] written in the book of the law to do them;

11but that by law no one is justified with 1God [is] evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;

12but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.

13Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed [is] every one hanged upon a tree,)

14that the blessing of Abraham might come to the nations in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

15Brethren, (I speak according to man,) even man's confirmed covenant no one sets aside, or adds other dispositions to.

16But to Abraham were the promises addressed, and to his seed: he does not say, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed; which is Christ.

17Now I say this, A covenant confirmed beforehand by 2God, the law, which took place four hundred and thirty years after, does not annul, so as to make the promise of no effect.

18For if the inheritance [be] on the principle of law, [it is] no longer on the principle of promise; but 3God gave it in grace to Abraham by promise.

19Why then the law? It was added for the sake of transgressions, until the seed came to whom the promise was made, ordained through angels in [the] hand of a mediator.

20But a mediator is not of one, but 4God is one.

21[Is] then the law against the promises of 5God? Far be the thought. For if a law had been given able to quicken, then indeed righteousness were on the principle of law;

22but the scripture has shut up all things under sin, that the promise, on the principle of faith of Jesus Christ, should be given to those that believe.

23But before faith came, we were guarded under law, shut up to faith [which was] about to be revealed.

24So that the law has been our tutor up to Christ, that we might be justified on the principle of faith.
