Galatians 3:11-13
New Century Version
Galatians 3:11-13
New Century Version
11 Now it is clear that no one can be made right with God by the law, because the Scriptures say, “Those who are right with God will live by faith.”[a] 12 The law is not based on faith. It says, “A person who obeys these things will live because of them.”[b] 13 Christ took away the curse the law put on us. He changed places with us and put himself under that curse. It is written in the Scriptures, “Anyone whose body is displayed on a tree[c] is cursed.”
