“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.”
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Law of the book.' — Paul cites Deuteronomy 27:26, declaring that law-observance as a means of justification places one under a curse ('ara') because the law demands total, perpetual compliance ('diamenō' — continue to do everything), a standard no human can meet; law-keeping as justification is cursed rather than blessed.
