The Law Brings a Curse

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, a“Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the law, to do them.”  
11 But that no one is1 justified by the law in the sight of God is evident, for a“the just shall live by faith.”  
12 Yet athe law is not of faith, but b“the man who does them shall live by them.”  
13 aChrist has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, b“Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”), 
14 athat the blessing of Abraham might come upon the bGentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive cthe promise of the Spirit through faith.  

The Changeless Promise

15 Brethren, I speak in the manner of men: aThough it is only a man’s covenant, yet if it is confirmed, no one annuls or adds to it.
