The Bible in Basic English BBE
New International Version NIV
10 For all who are of the works of the law are under a curse: because it is said in the Writings, A curse is on everyone who does not keep on doing all the things which are ordered in the book of the law.
10
For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.”
11 Now that no man gets righteousness by the law in the eyes of God, is clear; because, The upright will be living by faith.
11
Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before God, because “the righteous will live by faith.”
12 And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them.
12
The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, “The person who does these things will live by them.”
13 Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:
13
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 pole.”
14 So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.
14
He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
