Context Readings

Justified By The Law, Or Justified By Faith?

11 The fact that the Law justifies no man before God is evident. The righteous will live by faith. 12 However, the Law is not of faith; on the contrary, “He who practices them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. It is written; Cursed is everyone who is hung on a stake.
