12And the law is not of faith; but, He who does them will have life by them.
13Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:
14So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.
15Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it.
16Now to Abraham were the undertakings given, and to his seed. He says not, And to seeds, as of a great number; but as of one, he says, And to your seed, which is Christ.
17Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect.
18Because if the heritage is by the law, it is no longer dependent on the word of God; but God gave it to Abraham by his word.
