Galatians 3:11-14 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

11. We know that no one is made right with God by keeping the law. Scripture says, "Those who are right with God will live by faith." (Habakkuk 2:4)

12. The law is not based on faith. In fact, it is just the opposite. It teaches that "the one who does those things will live by them." (Leviticus 18:5)

13. Christ set us free from the curse of the law. He did it by becoming a curse for us. It is written, "Everyone who is hung on a pole is under God's curse." (Deuteronomy 21:23)

14. Christ Jesus set us free so that the blessing given to Abraham would come to non-Jews through Christ. He did it so that we might receive the promise of the Holy Spirit by believing in Christ.
