  16. Galatians 3:10 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 Book of the Law."(Deuteronomy 27:26) Is the law sin?  Certainly not!  I would not have known what sin was except through the law. Romans 7:7 The law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.Galatians 3:24 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. Galatian 3:13 Mount Ebal (curses)
