Verse explanation
“The curse of the law” refers to the punishment promised to whoever did not keep the whole law. Paul cites a rule stating that a body hung on a tree was a sign of a curse, and applies this to the cross of Christ, as if He had taken that curse in everyone’s place.
From the Galatians 3 study in Bible in Stories.
