Book of Galatians - Chapter 3 - Verse 10

3:10
For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

Meaning

This verse from the book of Galatians in the Bible highlights the consequences of trying to attain righteousness through the works of the law. It emphasizes that those who seek justification through their adherence to the law will ultimately fall short and be subject to the curse of the law. The curse mentioned here refers to the punishment and condemnation that comes from failing to perfectly obey all the commandments laid out in the law. The verse serves as a warning to those who rely solely on their own efforts to earn favor with God, reminding them that no one can perfectly keep the law and therefore everyone is susceptible to its curse. This verse ultimately points to the need for a Savior who can deliver us from the curse of the law through grace and faith, rather than through our own works.
