10For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse. For it is written, “Cursed is everyone who doesn’t continue in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.”Cross-references: Deut 11:26 · Deut 27:26 · Deut 29:20 · Isa 43:28 · Jer 11:3 · Ezek 18:4 · +9 more

15Brothers, speaking of human terms, though it is only a man’s covenant, yet when it has been confirmed, no one makes it void or adds to it.Cross-references: Rom 3:5 · Rom 6:19 · 1Cor 15:32 · Heb 9:17

16Now the promises were spoken to Abraham and to his offspring. He doesn’t say, “To descendants”, as of many, but as of one, “To your offspring”, which is Christ.Cross-references: Gen 12:3 · Gen 12:7 · Gen 13:15 · Gen 15:5 · Gen 17:7 · Gen 21:12 · +18 more

19Then why is there the law? It was added because of transgressions, until the offspring should come to whom the promise has been made. It was ordained through angels by the hand of a mediator.Cross-references: Ex 20:19 · Ex 24:1 · Ex 34:27 · Lev 15:32 · Deut 4:8 · Deut 5:5 · +25 more

20Now a mediator is not between one, but God is one.Cross-references: Gen 15:18 · Gen 17:1 · Deut 6:4 · Job 9:33 · Acts 12:20 · Rom 3:29 · +5 more

21Is the law then against the promises of God? Certainly not! For if there had been a law given which could make alive, most certainly righteousness would have been of the law.Cross-references: Matt 5:17 · Rom 3:4 · Rom 3:6 · Rom 3:20 · Rom 3:31 · Rom 7:7 · +7 more

26For you are all children of God, through faith in Christ Jesus.Cross-references: John 1:12 · John 20:17 · Rom 8:14 · 2Cor 6:18 · Gal 4:5 · Eph 1:5 · +5 more

27For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.Cross-references: Job 29:14 · Isa 61:10 · Matt 28:19 · Mark 16:15 · Luke 15:22 · Acts 2:38 · +14 more
