rsv Galatians:3:13-17
rsv@Galatians:3:13 @ Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, "Cursed be every one who hangs on a tree"--
rsv@Galatians:3:14 @ that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
rsv@Galatians:3:15 @ To give a human example, brethren: no one annuls even a man's will, or adds to it, once it has been ratified.
rsv@Galatians:3:16 @ Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, "And to offsprings," referring to many; but, referring to one, "And to your offspring," which is Christ.
rsv@Galatians:3:17 @ This is what I mean: the law, which came four hundred and thirty years afterward, does not annul a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to make the promise void.
