Galatians 3:10-18 - Law And Promise

¹⁰ For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law. ¹¹ Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith. ¹² And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them. ¹³ Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree: ¹⁴ So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

¹⁵ Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it. ¹⁶ Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ. ¹⁷ Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect. ¹⁸ Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.
