If

Certainly all who depend on the actions of the Law are under a curse. For it is written, "A curse on everyone who does not obey everything that is written in the Book of the Law!"

I do not misapply God's grace, for if righteousness comes about by doing what the Law requires, then the Messiah died for nothing.

Then, instead of being lazy, you will imitate those who are inheriting the promises through faith and patience.
