Galatians 3:10-18 - Law And Promise

¹⁰ For as many as are under the deeds of the law, are under malediction. For it is written, "Cursed is every man that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to fulfil them." ¹¹ That no man is justified by the law in the sight of God is evident. For the just shall live by faith. ¹² The law is not of faith: but the man that fulfilleth the things contained in the law, shall live in them. ¹³ But Christ hath delivered us from the curse of the law, and was made accursed for us - for it is written, "Cursed is everyone that hangeth on tree" - ¹⁴ that the blessing of Abraham might come on the gentiles through Jesus Christ, and that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith.

¹⁵ Brethren, I will speak after the manner of men. Though it be but a man's testament, yet no man despiseth it, or addeth anything thereto when it is once allowed. ¹⁶ To Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, "in the seeds," as in many: But, "in thy seed," as in one, which is Christ. ¹⁷ This I say, that the law which began afterward, beyond four hundred and thirty years, doth not disannul the testament, that was confirmed afore of God unto Christ ward, to make the promise of none effect. ¹⁸ For if the inheritance come of the law, it cometh not of promise: but God gave it unto Abraham by promise.
