Galatians 3:6-13

6 1Even so 2Abraham 3believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness. 7Therefore, 4be sure that 5it is those who are of faith who are 6sons of Abraham. 8The Scripture, foreseeing that God 7would justify the 8Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “9All the nations will be blessed in you.” 9So then 10those who are of faith are blessed with 11Abraham, the believer.

10For as many as are of the works of 12the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “13Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.” 11Now that 14no one is justified 15by 16the Law before God is evident; for, “17 18The righteous man shall live by faith.” 12 19However, the Law is not 20of faith; on the contrary, “21He who practices them shall live 22by them.” 13Christ 23redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, “24Cursed is everyone who hangs on 25a 26tree”--
