Galatians 3:13

Justified By The Law, Or Justified By Faith?

¹² But the law is not based on faith, but the one who does the works of the law will live by them. ¹³ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us (because it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree") ¹⁴ in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham would come to the Gentiles, so that we could receive the promise of the Spirit by faith.
