The law is not based on faith; on the contrary, it says, "The person who does these things will live by them." Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
"The person who does these things will live by them."
Leviticus 18:5 " 'Keep my decrees and laws, for the person who obeys them will live by them. I am the LORD.' "
Romans 10:5 Moses writes this about the righteousness that is by the law: "The person who does these things will live by them."

Romans 4:9 Is this blessedness only for the circumcised, or also for the uncircumcised? We have been saying that Abraham's faith was credited to him as righteousness.
