Galatians 3:12

12 But the law is not from faith, but "the one who does these [things] will live by them."

Galatians 3:12 In-Context

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse, for it is written, "Cursed [is] everyone who does not abide by all [the things] that are written in the book of the law to do them."
11 Now [it is] clear that no one is justified in the sight of God by the law, because "the one who is righteous will live by faith."
12 But the law is not from faith, but "the one who does these [things] will live by them."
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law [by] becoming a curse for us, because it is written, "Cursed [is] everyone who hangs on a tree,"
14 in order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
