Galatians 3:14

Justified By The Law, Or Justified By Faith?

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. ¹⁵ Brothers, I’m using a human illustration. No one sets aside or makes additions to even a human covenant that has been ratified.
