“Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”
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.' — Paul's doctrine of substitutionary redemption: Christ's crucifixion ('hang on pole', citing Deuteronomy 21:23) means he bore the curse ('ara') that the law pronounces on all who fall short; redemption ('exagorazō' — buyback) from the law's curse is achieved through Christ becoming cursed, a cosmic transaction where Christ absorbs the penalty.
