Galatians 3:12 Context
10For as many as are of the works of the lawe, are vnder the curse: for it is written, Cursed is euery one that continueth not in all things which are written in the booke of the Law to doe them. 11But that no man is iustified by the Lawe in the sight of God, it is euident: for, The iust shall liue by faith. 12And the Law is not of faith: but the man that doeth them, shall liue in them. 13Christ hath redeemed vs from the curse of the Law, being made a curse for vs: for it is written, Cursed is euery one that hangeth on tree: 14That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles, through Iesus Christ: that wee might receiue the promise of the Spirit through faith.
