Galatians 3:12 in context

  1. 10For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.”
  2. 11Now that no man is justified by the law before God is evident, for, “The righteous will live by faith.”
  3. 12The law is not of faith, but, “The man who does them will live by them.”
  4. 13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”
  5. 14that the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
