For I through the law died to the law, that I might live to God.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse; for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all the things which are written in the book of the law, to do them."

Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us, for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree,"

Therefore the law has become our custodian, [leading us] to Christ, so that we might be justified by faith.

Tell me, you who wish to be under the law, do you not hear the law?

But he who was of the servant girl was born according to the flesh, and he of the free woman through the promise,

for Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to the present Jerusalem, and is in slavery with her children--

For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, who does not give birth; break forth and shout, who does not have birth pangs; because the children of the desolate are many more than those of her who has a husband."

But just as then the [one] who was born according to the flesh persecuted the [one born] according to the Spirit, so it is also now.

So then, brothers, we are not children of the servant girl, but of the free [woman].

Philip found Nathanael and said to him, "We have found the [One] about whom Moses wrote in the Law, and the Prophets--Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph."

[ 3:16] And I will put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed, He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

And I will bless those that bless you, and curse those that curse you, and in you shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

But Abraham shall become a great and populous nation, and in him shall all the nations of the earth be blessed.

And in your seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

And your seed shall be as the sand of the earth; and it shall spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east; and in you and in your seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.

A ruler shall not fail from Judah, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for him; and He is the expectation of nations.

And Moses prayed to the Lord for the people; and the Lord said to Moses, Make for yourself a serpent, and put it on a staff; and it shall come to pass that whenever a serpent shall bite a man, everyone [so] bitten that looks upon it shall live.

And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a staff. And it came to pass that whenever a serpent bit a man, and he looked on the bronze serpent, he lived.

I will point to Him, but not now; I bless Him, but He draws not near: a Star shall arise out of Jacob, a Man shall spring forth out of Israel; and shall crush the princes of Moab, and shall spoil all the sons of Seth.

And Edom shall be an inheritance, and Esau his enemy shall be an inheritance [of Israel], and Israel does valiantly.

The Lord your God shall raise up to you a Prophet from among your brethren, like me; Him shall you hear,

I will raise up to them a Prophet from among their brethren, like you; and I will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them as I shall command Him.

And whoever shall not hearken to all the words that [the] Prophet shall speak in My name, I will take vengeance on him.

Therefore, having obtained help from God, until this day I stand, witnessing both to common [people] and great [people], saying nothing except the things which both the prophets and Moses spoke of as being about to happen,

For Christ is the end of [the] law for righteousness to everyone that believes.

For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but having been made like the Son of God, remains a priest continually.

And indeed those who are of the sons of Levi, who receive the priesthood, have a commandment to collect tithes from the people according to the law, that is, from their brothers, though they have come from the loins of Abraham;
