Galatians 3:10-14

English Standard Version

The Righteous Shall Live by Faith

¹⁰For all who rely on works of the law are ^(A)under a curse; for it is written, ^(B)“Cursed be everyone who does not ^(C)abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” ¹¹Now it is evident that ^(D)no one is justified before God by the law, for ^(E)“The righteous shall live by faith.”^[a] ¹²But the law is not of faith, rather ^(F)“The one who does them shall live by them.” ¹³Christ ^(G)redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, ^(H)“Cursed is everyone who is hanged ^(I)on a tree”— ¹⁴so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might ^(J)come to the Gentiles, so that ^(K)we might receive ^(L)the promised Spirit^[b] through faith.
