Galatians 3:10-14

10 Certainly, there is a curse on all who rely on their own efforts to live according to a set of standards because Scripture says, "Whoever doesn't obey everything that is written in Moses' Teachings is cursed."
11 No one receives God's approval by obeying the law's standards since, "The person who has God's approval will live by faith."
12 Laws have nothing to do with faith, but, "Whoever obeys laws will live because of the laws he obeys."
13 Christ paid the price to free us from the curse that God's laws bring by becoming cursed instead of us. Scripture says, "Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed."
14 [Christ paid the price] so that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to all the people of the world through Jesus Christ and we would receive the promised Spirit through faith.
