11but that by law no one is justified with God is evident, because The just shall live on the principle of faith;
12but the law is not on the principle of faith; but, He that shall have done these things shall live by them.
13Christ has redeemed us out of the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, (for it is written, Cursed is every one hanged upon a tree,)
