Galatians 3:13

Justified By The Law, Or Justified By Faith?

¹² But the law is not based on faith; instead, the one who does these things will live by them. ¹³ Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, because it is written: Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed. ¹⁴ The purpose was that the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles by Christ Jesus, so that we could receive the promised Spirit through faith.
