3:13 — Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree), — Isaiah 53:6; Isaiah 53:10; 2Co 5:21; 1Pe 2:24; Tit 2:14. The Israelites did not crucify criminals, but stoned them, but after stoning them they hung them on a tree (Deu 21:21-22). “You will not let his body spend the night on the tree; without fail you will bury him the same day, because cursed by God is the hanged one” (ver. 23). Paul uses the word stake to identify the crucifixion of Jesus with the curse pronounced on Deu 21:23 (see Ac 13:29; Peter does the same Ac 5:30; Ac 10:39; 1Pe 2:24).

Paul knows that many of his readers would perceive that they are under the curse of the law (v. Gal 3:10; Deu 27:26). For them, as well as for us, it is incredibly comforting to know that Christ it was made curse for us on the cross (Deu 21:23). This image is because of the wrath of God that hung over us (like the sword of Damocles) but Christ took on the wrath. In this way, the damn he wake up by faith in the redemption of Christ and for abraham’s blessing Y the promise of the spirit for all believers. This is different from what the false Jewish teachings expressed, that the blessing comes by observing the Mosaic Law, and that the people are damned if you don’t.

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law. The Greek word translated “redeemed” was often used to speak of buying freedom from a slave or debtor. Christ’s death, because it was a substitutionary death for sin, satisfied God’s justice and exhausted his wrath toward his elect, so that Christ became the literal purchaser of believers to free them from their slavery to sin. sin and the sentence of eternal death (Gal 4:5; Tit 2:14; 1Pe 1:18; zip Romans 3:24; 1Co 1:30; Eph 1:7; Col 1:14; Hebrews 9:12). made by us damn.

This verse is introduced very abruptly in the Greek text, without any connective. However, it is clear from the context that it provides the answer to the problem of the curse of the law raised in the preceding verses (vv. Gal 3:10-12). The idea introduced here may be very strange in some cultures and will not communicate much if translated very literally, as our reference version does: Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, made a curse for us. The verb commonly translated “redeem” literally means “to buy.” The basic idea was inspired by the payment of a price for the slaves, who in this way changed owners or bought their freedom. The versions prefer to use verbs more commonly used in Spanish: “Rescatar” (DHH96), “salvar” (TLA), “liberar” (BA).
The curse of the law it refers, as almost always happens in Paul, to the law of Moses. literal expression made by us damn it can be better understood as «he preferred to receive the curse for us» (TLA), «submitting himself to the curse» (BP), «becoming cursed for us» (Vidal: 95). The idea that Christ assumed the consequences of being outside the law should be made very clear, and he did it in favor of all people, thus achieving that they were saved and not condemned. It could be expressed like this: “Christ took on himself the punishment of the law so that we would not have to pay the consequences”, “Christ suffered the punishment required by the law and thus we are free”.
Again, Paul provides a text from Scripture to support his argument and introduces it in a typical way of introducing citations: because it is written, “because the Scripture says” (DHH96), “because the Bible says” (TLA). The quote that declares cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree comes from Deu 21:23, and refers, in its original context, to the practice of hanging the bodies of criminals from trees and leaving them there. The Jews believed that this polluted their land. It is not justified to put the quote in parentheses, which, moreover, takes away its expressive power. It is important to regularly maintain the format chosen to present the frequent quotes that Pablo makes, whether they are quotation marks, italics or any other graphic resource: «Cursed be he who hangs from a tree» (BP). This Old Testament text was very important for Paul, and for other New Testament authors, when interpreting the death of Christ on the cross.

R631 In v. 10, Paul said that those under the law were under a curse (ὑπὸ κατάραν). In the V. 13, continues the same image. Christ bought us from under (ἐκ…) the curse of the law by making a curse upon (ὑπέρ) us. In short, we were under the curse; Christ took the curse on Himself and therefore on us (between the suspended curse and us), and thus he rescued us from under the curse. We are set free, while He was considered cursed (v. 13). In this passage, ὑπέρ means: instead of (usually one who acts on behalf of (ὑπέρ) another, who takes his place -M64).

Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us (for it is written: Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree), so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might attain? ?to the Gentiles, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit? First of all, I would like to clarify some points with those people who are not under the curse of the law? Nor does he need Christ as Redeemer. They are those who maintain that there is a difference between being contrary to the law and being contrary to what is intended by the law: «He who violates the law commits a sin; but he who violates what is intended by the law does not commit a sin, but only fails in his duty to do good (tantum a bono deficit).» 47? Who can stand this poison? But look at the test class that? They contribute to support his thesis! (I must clarify that “what is intended by the law” is, according to them, the fact that? God requires that the works of the law be done in love.) “If man” -they say- “had to abide by what ? ?Attempted by the law, it would result that the one who has not yet received grace, would be continually sinning by not? ?kill, not commit adultery, not steal etc.»?.?48? To this I reply: Man does not sin by not killing, etc., but by? ? harbor within him, in a latent form, hatred, bad desires, greed, and by pouring these things into the? • exterior when he irritates it; because this hidden impurity of the heart and flesh can be eliminated? ?by faith alone, through the grace of Christ.

Consequently, those of us who do not possess the grace that is obtained by faith, are all under the curse of the law, as has already been sufficiently exposed. For since the righteous lives only by faith, it is clear that the curse of the law weighs on unbelievers. Otherwise would we invalidate the redemption made by Christ, or would we have to? ?Limit to what refers to ceremonial laws. But a human being could also have redeemed us from this.
