Key verse — Galatians 3:13

Christ bought us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse on behalf of us, because it has been written, Accursed is everyone hanging upon a wood.

¹ O unminded Galatians, who bewitched you not to be persuaded to the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ was written-before among you having been crucified?

² This only I will to learn from you: did you receive the Spirit out of works of law or out of hearing of faith?

³ Thus are you unminded? Having begun in Spirit, now do you complete-yourselves in flesh?

⁴ Did you suffer so many things emptily? If indeed also emptily.

⁵ The one therefore supplying to you the Spirit and in-working powers in you, is it out of works of law or out of hearing of faith?

⁶ According as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned to him unto righteousness.

⁷ Know therefore that those out of faith, these are sons of Abraham.

⁸ And the writing, having foreseen that God justifies the nations out of faith, gospelized-before to Abraham that In you all the nations will be blessed.

⁹ So that those out of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.

¹⁰ For as many as are out of works of law are under a curse; for it has been written, Accursed is everyone who does not remain in all the things having been written in the book of the law, to do them.

¹¹ And that in law no one is justified beside God is clear, because The righteous will live out of faith;

¹² and the law is not out of faith, but The one having done them will live in them.

¹³ Christ bought us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse on behalf of us, because it has been written, Accursed is everyone hanging upon a wood,

¹⁴ that unto the nations the blessing of Abraham might come to be in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through the faith.

¹⁵ Brothers, I speak according to man: yet a man’s covenant having been confirmed, no one unsettleth or adds-upon.

¹⁶ And to Abraham the promises were spoken, and to his seed. He does not say, And to seeds, as upon many, but as upon one, And to your seed, who is Christ.

¹⁷ And this I say: a covenant having been confirmed beforehand by God unto Christ, the law, having come to be after four hundred and thirty years, does not unsettle, unto the to render-idle the promise.

¹⁸ For if the inheritance is out of law, it is no longer out of promise; and to Abraham God has graced it through promise.

¹⁹ What then the law? It was added-on behalf of the transgressions, until the seed should come to whom it has been promised, having been arranged through angels in a mediator’s hand.

²⁰ And the mediator is not of one; and God is one.

²¹ Is then the law against the promises of God? May it not come to be. For if a law was given, the one being able to make-alive, righteousness would truly have been out of law.

²² But the writing shut-together the all things under sin, that the promise out of faith of Jesus Christ might be given to those believing.

²³ And before the faith to come, we were being guarded under law, having been shut-together unto the faith about to be unveiled.

²⁴ So that the law has become our child-leader unto Christ, that we might be justified out of faith.

²⁵ And the faith having come, we are no longer under a child-leader.

²⁶ For you are all sons of God through the faith in Christ Jesus.

²⁷ For as many as were baptized into Christ, you put-on Christ.

²⁸ There is not Jew nor Greek, there is not slave nor free, there is not male and female; for you all are one in Christ Jesus.

²⁹ And if you are of Christ, then you are seed of Abraham, heirs according to promise.
