¹⁰ For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, "Cursed is everyone who doesn't continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them."

²⁶ Cursed be he who doesn't confirm the words of this law to do them. All the people shall say, Amen.

³ and say you to them, Thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel: Cursed be the man who doesn't hear the words of this covenant,

⁹ He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.

¹⁰ "Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

¹¹ The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: 'God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

¹² I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.'

¹³ But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn't even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, a sinner!'

²⁶ Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

²⁷ the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I command you this day;

²⁸ and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.

⁴ Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.

⁹ But if you show partiality, you commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

¹⁰ For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he has become guilty of all.

¹¹ For he who said, "Do not commit adultery," said also, "Do not commit murder." Now if you do not commit adultery, but murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

¹⁶ yet knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law but through the faith of Jesus Christ, even we believed in Christ Jesus, that we might be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the law, because no flesh will be justified by the works of the law.

⁷ because the mind of the flesh is hostile towards God; for it is not subject to God's law, neither indeed can it be.

⁹ I was alive apart from the law once, but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.

¹⁰ The commandment, which was for life, this I found to be for death;

¹¹ for sin, finding occasion through the commandment, deceived me, and through it killed me.

¹² Therefore the law indeed is holy, and the commandment holy, and righteous, and good.

¹³ Did then that which is good become death to me? May it never be! But sin, that it might be shown to be sin, by working death to me through that which is good; that through the commandment sin might become exceeding sinful.

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹⁵ For the law works wrath, for where there is no law, neither is there disobedience.

¹⁹ Now we know that whatever things the law says, it speaks to those who are under the law, that every mouth may be closed, and all the world may be brought under the judgment of God.

²⁰ Because by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified in his sight. For through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

⁴¹ Then he will say also to those on the left hand, 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels;

²⁸ Therefore I will profane the princes of the sanctuary; and I will make Jacob a curse, and Israel a reviling.

²⁰ Yahweh will not pardon him, but then the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky.
