Galatians 3:13-15
Lexham English Bible
13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by[a] becoming a curse for us, because it is written, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,”[b] 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.
