Galatians 3:11-14
Context3:11 Now it is clear no one is justified before God by the law, because the righteous one will live by faith. 4 3:12 But the law is not based on faith, 5 but the one who does the works of the law 6 will live by them. 7 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming 8 a curse for us (because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”) 9 3:14 in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, 10 so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
