Galatians 3:13

The cross and atonement Salvation Jesus Christ Guilt and conscience

¹¹ Now it is clear that no one is justified before God by the law, because, “The righteous will live by faith.”

¹² The law, however, is not based on faith; on the contrary, “The man who does these things will live by them.”

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”

¹⁴ He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

¹⁵ Brothers, let me put this in human terms. Even a human covenant, once it is ratified, cannot be canceled or amended.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
